Hi Zaki, the main problem I am facing is you are not reading. I asked you to not send me private emails many times, you keep insisting to send me them, I asked you to not top-post, you keep top-posting. This is disrespectful toward the people you want help from. We are interested in helping, even beginners, but we do have some basic rules, I agree they are not written down but they do exist. This GSM community is using two means of communication, one is the mailinglist, the other the IRC channel. The community is providing the "service" as best effort, you have certainly no right to insist that someone is helping you. For the mailinglist we assume you to not top-post, but use reply and to quote properly. If you have subscribed to the digest by accident you can change that in the mailman, if you want to keep the digest then please use a service like gmane.org to reply to emails. We are using english for communication and we assume basic problem solving skills. E.g. if a tool emits a line like "Error please see foo.log for details", we kind of assume you to look at that log file, or at least attach it to the email, we also kind of assume you to follow the thread you started. In your specific case. You have downloaded a ia32 bit version of Ubuntu, you have decided to download an amd64 bit version of the toolchain. The 'uname' command tells you something about your kernel, the architecture it is running on (i686) and other bits. The 'file' command is reading the header of the file you point it to. I asked you to determine the type of arm-elf-gcc. In that case 'file' found the ELF magic number in the header, and found out that it was compiled for AMD64. This is the same "mistake" that Huseyin made, he wrote an email about it. Instead of reading that email, you spend your time sending a private email to Syvliant, and then to me, telling that the mailinglist didn't help you. So please stick to the mailinglist, people help, please read the threads you started, and feel free to ask specific questions. happy hacking z.
