Did you compile with -static?  If not, the system will attempt to load
it with /lib/ld.so.1.  Do you have that file?  Is it executable?  What
about libc?

If you have a file starting with

#! /bin/fux0r

and /bin/fux0r does not exist, the execution will fail with that exact
error.  In fact from the system's point of view it's the same thing
with /lib/ld.so.1 instead of /bin/fux0r.
