Ok here is my problem I used to be able to run bIRCD on a shell before. But now first time I try cygwin, I WGET http://ircd.bircd.org/bewareircd-linux.tar.gz and unzip it, edit the config files. And now I try to execute it using (.) ./BIRCD and it says BASH: Cannot execute binary file. I have full access to the file and when I type file bircd it says ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped. I am a windowsx86 vista user
I could be off-base, but two quick thoughts: 1) Do the file permissions include x (executable) permission as shown by ls -l? 2) Above you used ./BIRCD and bircd interchangeably for the names, but in cygwin names can be case-sensitive. Have you tried the case (upeer vs. lower) of the letters of the name exactly as ls reports?
