Hi There. I've been using FreeNAS for about a year now and just recently upgraded the system to FreeNSA 8.

What I was trying to do is to use Amazon Kindlegen to convert .html files to mobi format files. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000234621)

It was not successful, I got the following error message:

ELF binary type "0" not known.
./kindlegen: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

I tried fix it by using command : brandelf -t FreeBSD kindlegen

and I got "Bad system call"

Any comments? The ultimate solution might be switch to centOS system which I know kindlegen can run without a problem, but I will not do it unless it's the only option.

Thanks!

why are you trying to do this on your Freenas box? why not do it on a system that is compatible with kindlegen? (ie. windows, mac, or linux)

Hi Irusak, because this is part of a batch process. The program is to fetch updates from RSS links and make a mobi file then send to my Kindle each day. I need this run automatically and did not want to do it manually.

Thanks.
