Message-ID: <20001216161756.A6370@cae88-102-101.sc.rr.com> Reply-To: dmaddox@sc.rr.com Mail-Followup-To: current@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Return-Receipt-To: dmaddox@sc.rr.com Sender: dmaddox@cae88-102-101.sc.rr.com Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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?
