Date: Mon, 25 Sep 1995 21:23:03 +0200 From: Mark Murray Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi I am hacking through the secure RPC code (I am happy to say an extremely small amount of it is restricted), but I am having hassles with libc. When I rebuild the new libc.so.2.2 and install it, my world falls apart with messages like ld.so: failed! _After_ the new shared library is installed, and I can go no further. I am no boffin with shared libraries, but I have tried the following: 1) change MINOR to 3, relink everything to do with libraries. 2) leave MINOR as 2, relink everything to do with libs. 3) & 4) same as above with a reboot in between. 5) & 6) same as above but playing games with ldconfig. 7) sacrificing a chicken at dawn. 8) swearing in 7 of our 11 official languages. 9) linking things statically. 10) various combinations of the above. The only interesting result I got was that linking statically often showed things that _were_ in the library (nm(1) showed the T record) to be not found. (I knew they weren't being found in the shared link, but there it was a load-time message, not a link-time). Any hints?
