I am trying to run dropbox on a headless machine.

When I try to run the "dropbox" command, as either user or root, it gives me this error:
Code:

root $ dropbox start
/opt/bin/dropbox: line 15: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory


Earlier, I had this error too:
Code:

root $ /etc/init.d/dropbox start
/etc/init.d/dropbox: line 19: /home/ssh_uploader_anon/.dropbox/dropbox.pid: No such file or directory


I fixed that one by running
Code:
mkdir /home/ssh_uploader_anon/.dropbox
as that user.

But now:
Code:

ssh_uploader_anon $ dropbox start
/opt/bin/dropbox: line 15: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ ll /opt/dropbox/dropbox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12475493 Apr 15 22:39 /opt/dropbox/dropbox
ssh_uploader_anon $ file /opt/dropbox/dropbox
/opt/dropbox/dropbox: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=54c03dd637a392112533dac213a24d2f64164563, not stripped
ssh_uploader_anon $ /opt/dropbox/dropbox start
bash: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ /opt/dropbox/dropbox help
bash: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ /opt/dropbox/dropbox --help
bash: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ dropbox
/opt/bin/dropbox: line 15: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ dropbox --help
/opt/bin/dropbox: line 15: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ dropbox help
/opt/bin/dropbox: line 15: /opt/dropbox/dropbox: No such file or directory
ssh_uploader_anon $ strace /opt/dropbox/dropbox start
execve("/opt/dropbox/dropbox", ["/opt/dropbox/dropbox", "start"], 0x7ffed6e60888 /* 45 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
strace: exec: No such file or directory
+++ exited with 1 +++


I suspect the `/opt/dropbox/dropbox` executable is trying to open some file and failing, but produces a pretty meager error message. I am not sure what file it's trying to open, so I can't help it this time. I tried using `strace` (as above), but the output doesn't make sense to me: I don't understand why that execve call would fail, given that `/opt/dropbox/dropbox` totally exists.

Any ideas?

Taking a hint from the related Dropbox thread, I have updated from =net-misc/dropbox-118.4.460 to =net-misc/dropbox-120.4.4598:
Code:
root $ eix -e net-misc/dropbox
[I] net-misc/dropbox
     Available versions:  118.4.460^ms ~119.4.1772^ms (~)120.4.4598^ms {X selinux}
     Installed versions:  120.4.4598^ms(07:15:09 04/17/21)(-X -selinux)
     Homepage:            https://www.dropbox.com/
     Description:         Dropbox daemon (pretends to be GUI-less)


Unfortunately, on my system, the problem remains.

(After the update, I also tried running `/etc/init.d/dropbox restart` as root, then ran `source /etc/profile` as the user, just to remove some possibilities of stale system state persisting the problem. After that I'm still getting the "No such file or directory" error.)

What is the output of emerge --verbose --info net-misc/dropbox ; ls -l /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ; file -L /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2?
