What distribution do you use?

Do you have more of the Error Message?
There should be some hint which file it is.

Im on Debian,
Those are the only error messages I get unless I can run it with something else that logs more. I tried LogLite that came with it im getting the same thing except instead of unterminated quote string its something about "(".
I thought it was running the executable when trying to execute with sh ./evelauncher.sh so I tried with bash ./evelauncher.sh and it keeps returning that error about the cannot run binary file.

I think you are using a 64 bit Debian and missing 32 bit binary support. I do not know debian, though, and can't tell you how to add it. Apparently there's a wine32 package on Debian, so you might want to try that one.

Edit:

https://wiki.debian.org/Wine

There they suggest the following:

Quote:
On 64-bit systems you should enable a 32-bit architecture for multiarch. This is needed for running 32-bit Windows applications (many modern apps are still 32-bit), but also for large parts of the Windows subsystem itself. If in doubt, you do need it!

You can identify your architecture with the following command:

dpkg --print-architecture


E.g. for amd64 (which most users have) you need i386. Enable it with the following command:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update


You may also have to install wine anyway, as I do not know what comes with the Eve launcher in terms of libraries/dependencies:

sudo apt install wine


or, if you want a more recent version:

sudo apt install wine-development



No warranties given. I don't really know Debian, and if you break it, you can keep the pieces. :)

Sizzlog, were you able to solve it?

I am not a big fan of Debian too. So my knowledge is limited.
But I think Neuntausend has a good point.

Do you start from Command line or just from Desktop directly?
Usually commandline does provide the full meassage.

I am missing the information which library is affected. That would help to corner the package and stuff.

I too have a similar problem. I am running Debian 8.6 on an older laptop with an i386 processor. When I run the launcher script from the console, I get the following:

Quote:

/home/jmitchell/evelauncher/./evelauncher: 1: /home/jmitchell/evelauncher/./evelauncher:ELF: not found
/home/jmitchell/evelauncher/./evelauncher: 1: /home/jmitchell/evelauncher/./evelauncher: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string


I don't believe the actual distro matters in this instance, and I get the same response after installing wine as well. Does anyone have any ideas?

I just checked the ELF of the Eve Launcher:

~/.bin/evelauncher $ file evelauncher
evelauncher: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=ca5268b5b3d196021a119d33718cc6cd6df72f3e, not stripped


It appears to be a native 64bit binary. Snorlax had even confirmed that here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6503894#post6503894

So, no native launcher for you if you are still using a 32bit linux for some reason. Try using the old all-wine way or switch to 64bit linux if possible.

Thanks for that Neuntausend!
