Subject: libc6: problem with /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Date: 7 Nov 1997 18:14:17 -0000

Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.5c-0.1

joey@kite:~>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xload
/usr/X11R6/bin/xload: error in loading shared libraries
libXaw.so.6: invalid ELF header

The only files in /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout are a.out libraries. xload
is libc6 of course. So it should not be linked to the a.out libraries; they
should be ignored. I spoke to David Engel about this, and he agrees about
this and says it's a bug in the dymanic linker for libc6, and that the
dynamic linker for libc5 already handes this.

This problem is making xaw-wrappers not work on certian systems, btw.

Hello Joey,

could you try

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xload

again with the latest libc6 release? The version 2.0.5 had many bugs, and I
don't have any aout libraries installed to test it.

Thank you,
Marcus
helping Dale with the bug list.

It seems to work now:

joey@kite:~>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libc5-compat/neXtaw ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xload   
        libXaw.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/neXtaw/libXaw.so.6 (0x4000c000)
...

I'm not thinking.... of course I tried it on a libc5 library, not an a.out
library. Disregrard the above.

I don't have any a.out stuff to try it on either, sorry.
