I have a mining rig and am trying to run a program ./garlicoind but I get this error:

-bash: ./garicoind: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Is this a common problem? What does it indicate?

Maybe it is a binary for a different architecture. Look at file garlicoind to find out a bit more about that file.

The program you have is most likely a binary compiled for a different architecture than the machine on which you're trying to run.

You can obtain the binary's architecture type by running

file garlicoind

and you can obtain your machine's architecture type by

uname -m

If they are different, you need either to get the correct binary for your architecture, or to get the code source of the program and compile it yourself.

Thanks! This was indeed the problem. I was trying to run a 32-bit program on my 64-bit machine
