Odd, I'm getting $ ./printimage.com image.jpg

run-detectors: unable to find an interpreter for ./printimage.com

Author here. That error happens if you have binfmt_misc enabled. The solution is simple:

    sudo sh -c "echo ':APE:M::MZqFpD::/bin/sh:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"

I intend to upstream a patch with the Linux kernel so it can do this automatically. If any kernel devs are reading, please email me!

Instead of sudo sh -c to sudo the redirects, consider echo 'abcde' |sudo tee /proc/bla. Less nesting :)

  Do you mean less syntactical nesting? The pipe to sudo tee creates a new child shell, just as sudo sh -c does.

Does it work on cheap Xen vps? Because "/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register" looks absent from mine.

  That's strange. I'd recommend filing an issue. Any details on how I can reproduce the error will be helpful, even if I have to temporarily rent one of those things. I'm on a mission to make binaries portable.
