Recently installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on Raspberry Pi3 with no problem. Then installed software which already runs on my PC with Ubuntu, also with no problem. The first test run. bash returned the message “cannot execute binary file : Exec format error”. Am I correct in assuming that the software is incompatible with arm7 architecture? (The manual of that software is not explicit on this topic.)
If the software includes binary executables, and does not make specific provision for ARM, then it won’t work
