X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD 3.0 to 3.2 is broken, because of elf. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have been using FreeBSD since 1.x and have been very happy with it, but ever since it was changed from aout to elf I have NOT been able to upgrade to anything greater than 2.2.8. The problem is that ld-elf on a lot of packages outputs the following messages ld-elf invalid file format or ld-elf libXXXX not found I have searched for hours in the mailing list and FAQ to find an answer, but any questions related to these errors are NOT being answered. I have in the past either upgraded an existing 2.2.8 system to 3.x or have done a complete rebuild to 3.x and none have been able to get past the above problems. I have also downloaded or recompiled packages with little or no luck. KDE is my current problem. The KFM program gets an ld-elf invalid file format What is going on, are the right people not reading this list any more, or are you trying to tell us to start using Linux. I am sorry if I am hurting anyones feelings but this problem has been going on for months with not end in sight.
