    this rings a bell ... hum ... I think I tried some :

    strace ./vxaTool

    and I think I discovered I was trying to run with some wrong
    architectures involved (like trying to run some 64bit stuff on a
    32bit distro chrooted on a 64bit kernel ...). anyway strace gave me
    the hint.
