ELIBEXEC
The target object is a library, not an executable program image
ELIBEXEC is one of Solaris' obsolete shared-library errno values. Oracle defines the condition specifically as an attempt to execute a shared library directly. It belongs to the historical a.out/static-shared-library error group documented alongside ELIBACC, ELIBBAD, and ELIBMAX.
The problem is therefore different from failing to find a required library or discovering corruption in one. The target passed to the execution path is itself the wrong kind of program image for direct exec.
Analyze the requested program image
- Record the exact pathname supplied to the exec family and inspect the file format rather than relying on its filename extension.
- Check launch scripts and configuration that may accidentally point at a library artifact instead of the intended executable.
- When reviewing archived Solaris logs, retain the obsolete errno name; current ELF loaders may report a different error for an analogous invalid target.
