| Issue |
When I try and run one of my programs I get the following:
"progname: Exec format error"
What is wrong?

| Solution |
ENOEXEC (8)
exec format error
There is a problem with the load file (executable). "exec format error" means it isn't a valid QNX executable. i.e. was built wrong.
A 32-bit executable will also report this on a 16-bit version of the OS, since it isn't a valid executable in that version.
Use the file utility to see what type of file it is. You should see something similar to:
# file /bin/file
/bin/file: QNX 400 i386 executable @ 0x22000. |
