tcpdump: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.

Hi,
   I've installed tcpdump 4.0.0 (with libpcap 1.0.0) over Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 #1. But when I'm trying to run tcpdump from my Linux
command prompt, I'm getting the following error:

   tcpdump: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.

   I looked for the error on the web. Can it be because while installing
libpcap/tcpdump, the gcc compiler was used and not g++?
   I read a .pcap file with Windump before and it worked fine. But now for
some reason, I'd have to do it on Linux.
   Thanks
             Bibudh
