32 bit ELF not working in RHEL 7

[BalavigneshP]

Hi All,

Recently we have migrated server from solaris to RHEL and there is a ELF which is not working in RHEL. We dont have a source code for that ELF. is there a way to make it work in RHEL ? Getting format error in RHEL while running that ELF file.

The issue you’re encountering is likely due to the fact that Solaris uses a different architecture and ABI (Application Binary Interface) compared to Linux. Solaris binaries, especially if they’re SPARC-based or built for Solaris-specific environments, are not natively compatible with RHEL, which uses the Linux ELF format and typically runs on x86_64 architecture.
