[Using Debian-GNU/Linux 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Fri Sep 3 06:24:46 UTC 2004 i686 GNU/Linux]
Hi all, I don't know exactly whether this is a bug or what, but I deemed it useful to report what happened. While running a script to backup my /usr dir to a partition on a second HD I had to stop it with CTRL+C as the destination partition had no more space on it. After that I noticed I could no longer use ls (or dir) and a few other basic progs and got instead this error: sleep: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: invalid ELF header In my wandering around for a solution I did a vim /lib/libpthread.so.0 and could see a few lines of text (instead of the unreadable symbols which usually that command would yield). Unluckily, I didn't take note of the text! After a while I apparently solved the problem copying the library libpthread-0.10.so from the backup dir into my working /lib dir; now the ls and similar commands work, but mplayer, xine, aviplay still complain about missing libpthread.so.0! [see below]. I reconfigured or even re-installed those applications, re-configured libc6, but I'm still getting the same error. An ls -l /lib shows that libpthread.so.0 points to libpthread-0.10.so, so I don't understand what is wrong. The main question, however, is what might have caused this mess! Thanks for your attention. Regards, Ennio. PS: After re-installing libc6 directly from the Debian site everything seems to work well now :-) ------------------- # ldd /usr/bin/aviplay 2>file ----------------------------- /usr/bin/aviplay: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3) /usr/bin/aviplay: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0) /usr/bin/aviplay: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0) /usr/bin/aviplay: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0) /usr/bin/aviplay: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libasound.so.2) # ldd /usr/bin/mplayer 2>>file ------------------------------ /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/bin/mplayer) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libavcodec-cvs.so) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libasound.so.2) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.20) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libjack-0.80.0.so.0) /usr/bin/mplayer: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libldap_r.so.2) # ldd /usr/bin/xine 2>>file /usr/bin/xine: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/bin/xine) /usr/bin/xine: libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libxine.so.1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
