Hi folks, it seems I've stumbled onto a bit of a problem here. On a box I recently upgraded to 4.5 stable, I keep getting errors regarding this elf stuff (I'm completely lost when it comes to that stuff). =20 Example: FIREWALL /kernel: link_elf: symbol seminfo undefined I get this on startup, but it doesn't (seem to?) hinder anything I've done with it except when I tried to re-install Linux binary compatibility 7.1 (see below). =20 I also noticed that since this problem has appeared, lynx hasn't been working properly, occasionally freezing, though I can't say for sure its related... as I use this box to browse www less than sparingly. I also installed opera, a program dependent on the Linux binary compatibility of course, and it won't start, stating the following: Bash-2.05a$ opera ELF binary type "0" not known. Abort trap I've tried updating the ports via cvsup, uninstalling all Linux compatibility by deselecting in /stand/sysinstall (which gives me another problem I'll get to in a second) and reinstalling linux_base-7 via both sysinstall and by doing pkg_add linux_base-7 myself, both giving me that link_elf error I described earlier which I get on boot up. Furthermore, I have been unable to uninstall Linux base 6.1 from the machine, giving me an error, and telling me to see the debug window (I'm still relatively new to FreeBSD, I have no idea what/where this debug screen is). Since I've upgraded the ports collection, in sysinstall I have linux_base-6.1 twice, then linux_base7, where before I had 6.1, 6.2, and 7.1. After I uninstalled the version 7 I was never able to reinstall it, and it shows linux_base-6.1 being installed twice. Does anyone have any insight regarding what I can do to help me get out of this little circle I seem to be in (short of reformatting ;-)? That's about as much detail as I can provide, and after re-reading this myself I'm skeptical that it can be of any help, so if in need of any clarification, please don't hesitate Thanks in advance, Sandro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
