The other day, on a whim, I decided to try running an old binary
of SimCity (the same one found in the 'commerce' directory on
many FBSD cds), and it failed in a odd way...
/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "___error" called from sim:/usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libX11.so.6.1 at 0x20160644
# ldd sim
./sim:
-lXext.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libXext.so.6.3 (0x200c5000)
-lX11.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libX11.so.6.1 (0x200cf000)
-lc.2 => /usr/lib/compat/aout/libc.so.2.2 (0x20166000)
-lm.2 => /usr/lib/compat/aout/libm.so.2.0 (0x201cb000)
-lgcc.261 => /usr/lib/compat/aout/libgcc.so.261.0 (0x201e5000)
So, all the necessary compatibility libraries are there, but it fails
anyway. I tried 'nm | grep error' on the sim binary and libX11.so.6.1
and didn't find any symbol, undefined or otherwise, by that name...
Am I overlooking something obvious here, or is something actually
broken with respect to running old aout binaries?
