I did a little research, and it seems that QMAGIC is a newer a.out format which leaves the first page unmapped (from the gcc-faq). In the newer binutils the ZMAGIC format is no longer supported (`binutils-2.5.2l.17.bin.tar.gz'). I guess if your friend has binutils older than this, he will be able to help us. what is needed are newer shared version of libc and libm (the latest, I don't have the version numbers handy). Right now we have libc.so.4.5.26 and libm.so.4.5.26 Regards, Marc. ---------------------------------------------------- Marc van Kempen BowTie Technology Email: marc@bowtie.nl WWW & Databases tel. +31 40 2 43 20 65 fax. +31 40 2 44 21 86 http://www.bowtie.nl ----------------------------------------------------
