I downloaded splunk-5.0.1-143156-Linux-x86_64.tgz and it is working fine on Linux os version -
Linux ip-10-212-65-213 3.2.0-31-virtual #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 16:36:36 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
But same package is not working (Giving above error) on Linux Os version :
Linux domU-12-31-39-06-24-A8 3.0.0-13-virtual #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 17:10:19 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Please suggest splunk package which is compatible with i686 Linux version.
You're trying to use a 64-bit package on a 32-bit system. Use the 32-bit package instead.
Thank you for the answer! I encountered the same error - re-visited and notices 32-bit into 64-bit system
On both systems run :
uname -a
Its possible one server is 32 bit and the other is 64 bit, and you've installed the wrong package on one of them ( The output on a 32bit system will not contain the text x86_64 )
(thats assuming its never started though)
You can also run :
ldd /opt/splunk/bin/splunk
on both systems to look for differences
