/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: bad ELF interpreter – A server stack is the collection of software that forms the operational infrastructure on a given machine. In a computing context, a stack is an ordered pile. A server stack is one type of solution stack — an ordered selection of software that makes it possible to complete a particular task. Like in this post about /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: bad ELF interpreter was one problem in server stack that need for a solution. Below are some tips in manage your linux server when you find problem about linux, centos, centos7, , .
In any fresh CentOS 7 installation, all the commands (ls, host, etc.) stop working and am getting the following messages:
-bash: /bin/host: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
I have tried installing:
- redhat-lsb
- elfutils
- “Compatibility libraries”
But no luck till now. Could you please what is going on wrong ? Every system deployed gets damaged at some random point in time with the above message.

UPDATE:
the issue was because of the “space” in the below crontab
find {{ dir.netops }} /* -mtime +30 -delete
am sorry guys ..
To summarize what happened:
There is an ansible-defined cronjob that runs find {{ dir.netops }} /* -mtime +30 -delete. Because of the space between {{ dir.netops }} and /* this will evaluate to find [...] /bin /lib /lib64 /boot [...] -mtime +30 -delete and will delete essentially every file on the system 30 days after its “last modified” date.
This means that every system deployed using this ansible playbook will self-destruct after 30 days.
