You only have to copy it to /usr/libexec, but READ THIS!! ld-elf.so.1 is the file that is at the base of all your shared executeables. If you screw it up, your machine will be in a disaster state ... not unrecoverable, but SAVE your old ld-elf.so.1 in a very safe place, and be ready to copy it right back into place, should you lose your shared executables. Something like vi is shared, and it better execute. /bin/cp, which you can use to copy things back, is a statically compiled thing, so it'll work regardless. ld-elf.so.1 is pretty small, so save it under, say, ld-elf.so.1.save in /usr/libexec, so it's right there if you have to restore it. Keep your head here, don't shoot yourself in the foot, please. If you already knew this, then consider this a warning message to everyone else, because I know we're going to get at least one "help me" message out of this. I just picked you as a convenient target to get this warning out early. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
