64bit apps on core64

[wysiwyg]

Good afternoon all, I was attempting to run some corepure64 software on core64, but it doesn't appear to work correctly.  I was simply trying 'tar --help', but go this in return:

# /usr/local/bin/tar --help
-sh: /usr/local/bin/tar: not found

# ls -al /usr/local/bin/tar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 310256 Dec 3 2015 /usr/local/bin/tar

# ldd /usr/local/bin/tar
/usr/local/bin/tar: error while loading share libraries: /usr/local/bin/tar: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Shouldn't the corepure64 software run in core64?

Thanks,
Dave

You can't mix 32 and 64 bit user space.
You either run full 32 bit, full 64 bit, or 64 bit kernel and modules with 32 bit user space.

Thanks for the reply gerald_clark - that explains why the apps won't run!
