Thanks.. > > Reinstall your libc.so.2.0 from backup. :-( I got bitten by this SOB too. I had to recover by FTP'ing a libc.so.2.0 from a 2.0-current machine. (Thank God for my account on Thud!) The 'normal' FTP did not work (it needs libc.so.2.0), so I used the statically linked, crunched one in /stand. Makes me think: how about putting up a "definitive" tree somewhere, containing -current source _and_ binaries, so those idiots amongst us can recover this way? (Kinda like the way I think I remember ref.tfs.com used to be in the patchkit days). Mark PS. What is a 'backup'? ;-) -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
