Passing an ELF file as a parameter to qrenderdoc is not supported. The error you get is exactly what it sounds - it tries to open the file and does not recognise the file format.
To capture a program launch the UI normally and then select the executable you want to launch from the launch executable panel. See the documentation on getting started using RenderDoc.
