Ok, weird.. /usr/local/bin/ ? so this is your own comiple/install of pico/pine ?

What do the following commands return:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/pico
file /usr/local/bin/pico

Also what type of file-system is /usr/local/bin (what does 'mount' show us) ?

There are many possible reasons for this error. Usually it would mean that the binary has the wrong permissions, or is corrupt. The above commands will help determine that.

thx reply , the below is result

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/pico

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 241696 Jul 18 15:44 /usr/local/bin/pico


$file /usr/local/bin/pico
/usr/local/bin/pico: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable

the file system of /usr/local/bin is ext3

So you copied pico from a HP-UX box to a Linux box.

The binaries are incompatable. You'll need to get the pine/pico package or source and install/recompile on your Linux box.

Check rpm -qa | grep pine.
rpm -qlp pineXXX.rpm.See if pico already in (should be).Uninstall pico rpm,uninstall pine rpm,install either one.
Also:
what shows ldd /usr/bin/pico?

[juno2]

how to uninstall pico ? and the result is
# ldd /usr/bin/pico?
