What were you trying to do?
[Please replace this line with your information.]
use /mit/graphics/.../transgif
What's wrong:
[Please replace this line with your information.]
transgif calls this particular perl binary:
/afs/athena/contrib/perl/arch/@sys/bin/perl
which happens to be the wrong format:
athena% file /afs/athena/contrib/perl/arch/@sys/bin/perl
/afs/athena/contrib/perl/arch/@sys/bin/perl: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC), stripped
athena% /afs/athena/contrib/perl/arch/@sys/bin/perl -e 'print "foo";'
/afs/athena/contrib/perl/arch/@sys/bin/perl: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.
What should have happened:
[Please replace this line with your information.]
transgif should be making neat transparent GIFs.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
[Please replace this line with your information.]
