Error with Shared Libraries Even Though Libraries Exist

Hello,

My system is RHEL 8.0 x86_64.

I installed software and after attempting to execute it I encountered the errors below:

• error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  error

• error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  error

I uninstalled and reinstalled the libraries. I confirmed the files do exist in both /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. After setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib:/usr/lib64, the error changed to the following errors:

• error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

• error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I tried running the software in a 32-bit VM, but encountered the same error.

Any thoughts on how to fix this issue?
