When trying to open a lib.so that has been compiled for a different architecture an error-msg is emitted saying. "no such file or directory" 

this is misleading behavior. changing the error-msg to. "library not compatible with architecture" would have saved me an hour of work ;)

I don't think we get enough information from the operating system in order to generate the message that you'd like to see, unfortunately.

Fail. Didn't read your reply carefully enough. You wasn't asking for my info.

Thanks anyway
