I emerged the latest and stable version of glibc (2.3.4.20040808-r1). However, after doing so, I was unable to access the internet. If I rebooted the system I got some crash message from kde and then it rebooted. Networking started working again after that. I tried typing in ldconfig and got an error saying that /lib/ld-linux.so.1 was not a symlink. Indeed, when I go into the lib directory that file is not a symlink and there's another file ld-linux.so.1.9.11 of the same length. Using diff to compare files indicated they were identical. I went back to the previous stable version of glibc (2.3.3.20040420-r2), but this did not resolve the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Typing in ldconfig 2. 3. Actual Results: I get an error informing me that ld-linux.so.1 was not a symlink and networking appeared to die on me. Expected Results: Updated all the links I imagine and have networking working. ^[]1;^G^[]2;Started emerge on: Oct 13, 2004 08:28:02^G^[]1;^G^[]2; *** emerge $ ^[]1;^G^[]2; *** terminating.^G^[]1;^G^[]2;xterm^GPortage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x$ ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.$ CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://www.gt$ MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdparanoia cdr crypt cups $
same on my system. I deleted ld-linux.so.1 and made a symbolic link of ld-linux.so.1.9.11. I am wondering, what ldconfig is doing when it is called after an emerge. There are no error messages!
/lib/ld-linux.so.1? strange, i checked all systems i have access, and they have /lib/ld-linux.so.2 even the oldest system i got, has this: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.2.5.so is this on x86?
Hi, The problem is solved. I merely deleted the bad file which was not a link, but the actual file and re-ran ldconfig. Best, Alex
