Thanks very much, deeproot! That fixed it. And such a simple fix!

Pretty sure now the problem is that position-independent executables (PIE) has been enabled for gcc in Ubuntu 18.04. Solution is to provide the -no-pie option for the gcc compiler. But I have no idea how that can be done when using PureBasic. The problem is not confined to executables created by ...

DD, the PureBasic software is x86. I did copy the source from a 64bit m/c. But I get the same problem with source that was always in a 32bit m/c.

executable_filename: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1 ...

Happy days, DD! That worked. Thanks a lot|

I am using PureBasic 5.50 on Linux 18.04. Worked fine on 14.04. Now with the Executable Format set to Linux I get a shared library from Create Executable. Don't know how to make that an executable instead.
