Which is pretty much every program you'ld care to mention, except for a few specially linked special-purpose ones. i.e. your system is pretty much hosed. If this is the case, then you're looking at measures like restoring from backup or booting from the install media and performing heroic feats of Unix Sysadmining to get it back. If it isn't the case, and you do, in fact, have a workable ld-elf.so.1 on your system, then the fact that you see such an alarming error message like that is still an indication of something pretty serious having gone wrong, and you should be feverishly making backups and preparing to rebuild your server. The sort of thing that could cause ld-elf.so.1 to disappear would be a near terminal failure of your hard drive. If so, now is a good time to replace it, and as you'll be installing a new version of the system, take the chance to upgrade to something that's still supported. If it's not the drive then suspect some other sort of hardware problem. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
