Cannot load grep libraries
Hi,
When I log in to RHEL machine using root login, I get the error as "rhel -bash: /bin/grep: cannot execute binary file" and this is also shown in the attachment here. Also I cannot open the folder "/bin/egrp", using CoreFTP, even when I am logged in as a root user. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to forums,

You are doing cd and the error which you are getting is valid since /bin/egrep is not directory

Code:
akshay@nio:~$ ls /bin/egrep 
/bin/egrep

akshay@nio:~$ cd /bin/egrep 
bash: cd: /bin/egrep: Not a directory

akshay@nio:~$ file /bin/egrep 
/bin/egrep: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=0x860cd228e4487c8ea24cb9713555614a82996ae6, stripped

akshay@nio:~$ /bin/egrep --v
/bin/egrep (GNU grep) 2.10

its not $path its $PATH in capital letters would result something like this

Code:
akshay@nio:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/ferret/bin:/home/akshay/Packages_External/my_executables:/usr/local/Software/ncl/bin:/home/akshay/cTraceo-stable/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/gmt/bin:/home/akshay/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/akshay/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools:/home/akshay/Dev/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/akshay/Dev/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

Thanks Akshay, but the error of grep occurs as soon as I log in as root (without performing any operations). Please check the new attachment and please help on this.

Is it possible that grep has been compiled for a different architecture?

THe permissions are in the attached herewith. egrep, fgrep and some other commands in /bin are appearing in red. Is this some error indication?
