Bug 51159 – firebird-1.5.0's libib_util.so seems to contain an invalid path.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stuart Shelton 2004-05-15 15:04:26 UTC]

Install firebird-1.5.0 (USE="inetd"); run ldconfig:

ldconfig: Can't link /usr/lib/../gen/firebird/lib/libib_util.so to libib_util.so

... (obviously, this is an invalid path).  Let's take a look at /opt/firebird/lib/libib_util.so (using strings):

_DYNAMIC
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
__gmon_start__
_init
_fini
__cxa_finalize
_Jv_RegisterClasses
ib_util_malloc
libc.so.6
_edata
__bss_start
_end
../gen/firebird/lib/libib_util.so
/opt/firebird/lib
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.0

... and elftoc gives:

  /* dynstr */ 
  "\0_DYNAMIC\0_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_\0__gmon_start__\0_init\0_fini\0__cxa_fi"
    "nalize\0_Jv_RegisterClasses\0ib_util_malloc\0libc.so.6\0_edata\0__bss_s"
    "tart\0_end\0../gen/firebird/lib/libib_util.so\0/opt/firebird/lib\0GLIBC"
    "_2.1.3\0GLIBC_2.0",

I'm guessing that this string shouldn't really be there, and that it's confusing (at least) ldconfig.

Reproducible: Always

mksoft, you might want to add a metadata.xml file if appropiate.

He resigned, Bryan. Firebird is unmaintained at the moment afaik.

Fixed in 1.5.1.
