Not impossible I guess, but the out of range relocation is usually reported for the faulty object. A common cause for this problem is a static library (those are usually built without -fPIC) getting linked into a shared object. Debian has a new xlibs-pic package to overcome this problem. It is indeed strange that the JDK plugin doesn't even have a relocation for 'ect' - could it be a bug in the dynamic linker after all, mangling the relocation for 'select' or another symbol containing 'ect'? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
