Reply-To: Darryl Okahata Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 18:05:19 -0700 From: Darryl Okahata Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org [ I'm sorry if this seems like a FAQ, but I've searched through the archives and dejanews, and I can't find anything on this. ] Hi, How "beta" are Marcel's RedHat 6.0 ports? I'm trying to install his beta RH6 linux-base on a July 10 -current, and numerous rpms fail to install properly (similar things happen on 3.1-RELEASE, which is why I'm now trying -current). A partial log looks like: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ldconfig-1.9.5-15.i386.rpm ELF binary type not known. Use "brandelf" to brand it. execution of script failed error: /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/ldconfig-1.9.5-15.i386.rpm cannot be installed brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig glibc-2.1.1-6.i386.rpm termcap-9.12.6-15.i386.rpm libtermcap-2.0.8-13.i386.rpm bash-1.14.7-16.i386.rpm execution of script failed error: /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/bash-1.14.7-16.i386.rpm cannot be installed ncurses-4.2-18.i386.rpm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ldconfig rpm appears to install, regardless of the error message, and the bash rpm doesn't work. Linux bash dumps core with a "Bad system call - core dumped". A stack trace from FreeBSD's gdb gives: (gdb) where #0 0x280d3e8a in ?? () #1 0x8052594 in getwd () #2 0x806ac3f in group_member () #3 0x804b803 in strcpy () #4 0x804a825 in strcpy () #5 0x280cdcb3 in ?? () (However, I have no idea if this is garbage or not, as I'm not using Linux's gdb to get the stack trace.) Other rpms that do not install include: info-3.12f-4.i386.rpm fileutils-4.0-1.i386.rpm grep-2.3-2.i386.rpm binutils-2.9.1.0.23-1.i386.rpm gd-1.3-5.i386.rpm libc-5.3.12-31.i386.rpm readline-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm rpm-3.0-6.0.i386.rpm tcsh-6.08.00-5.i386.rpm Of the ones above, I've verified that Linux info, tcsh, and rpm dump core (rpm sometimes works, but dumps core if you run "rpm --rebuilddb"). -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
