Exec format error

Post by lyz »

Hi, I'm trying to run CoppeliaSim on macbookpro m1 macOS Big Sur 11.0.1. But I found the robot operation system(ROS) cannot install successfully on mac. So I install a ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine by parallel desktop. then I unzip the coppeliaSim on ubuntu20.04 vm and run it, but coms up this error: "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error". Have you any ideas to solve it?
I switched to root and ran it again, but it failed.

Hello,

are you sure you have installed the correct package? i.e. the one for CoppeliaSim on Ubuntu 20.04?

Cheers

Yes, I'm sure. version: CoppeliaSim_Edu_V4_1_0_Ubuntu20_04.tar.xz. Is it matter with apple m1 chip?

I have no idea... it must be something specific with your VM or your system, never saw that before...

ARM64 (aarch64) architecture is not supported.

You need x86_64 (a.k.a. amd64).

Given that this issue is quite old, is there a solution for the aforementioned problem?
I have the same problem when trying to work with ROS and Coppelia in Ubuntu on a M1-Chip.

Hello,

we do not support M1 chips right now. But might in near future on macOS

Cheers
