RE: enabling ELF, command not found

If you're looking for this:

[1] This includes Cyrix, AMD, WinChip etc. where they are normally
capable of running the Linux i386 kernel.
Supported Binary Formats

    * A.OUT (early Linux and BSD)
    * ELF (most current Unices)
    * COFF (older SYSV Unices)
* XOUT (286 and 386 Xenix)

Supported OS Emulations

    * i386 BSD (386BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSDI/386) [1]
    * SVR4 (Interactive, Unixware, USL, Dell etc.)
    * SVR3 generic [2]
    * SCO 3.2.x COFF
    * SCO OpenServer 5 COFF & ELF
    * Wyse V/386 (SVR3 with extensions) [2]
    * Xenix V/386
* Xenix V/286

I think redhat comes with ibcs. Should be a module you load.
