I've seen that sometimes, when a file I _know_ is there (I can see it with
/sbin/ls.static), is executable (ditto), is not in a noexec partitopn
(mount says so), and I'm supplying the entire path. The problem has been
that the version of glibc differs from what the program assumes.
AFAIK, the only workarounds for that are (1) get the version of glibc it
expects (if you can have two installed at once); (2a) recompile the
program; or (2b) get a different (binary) version of the program. I vote
for 2a or 2b, depending on whether you compiled it from source or not.
/bin/ls is part of fileutils. Somehow I doubt you would wind up with a
bum version of fileutils, so I don't think the problem is that.

Maybe /cdrom actually isn't a directory. Why do you think it is? Make a
directory with the command "mkdir /mnt/cdrom" and then try "mount /dev/hdc
/mnt/cdrom -o ro".
Note that nobody but you could see any distinction between what I wrote
and what you wrote. It's impossible to tell them apart, without having
followed the conversation closely. I added "> "s manually to make it
clearer who said what.
