after reading to nausea about linux-gate.so.1, it pains me greatly to still need to post another question about it.
first off - please - nobody mention http://www.trilithium.com/johan/2005/08/linux-gate/ I would really appreciate that. Been there done that - didn't answer my question or solve my problem. I'm not sure 100% that I have a problem with linux-gate.so.1. What I AM sure about, (I think ;-), is that I have pointers to it, and it DOES NOT EXIST. Now - you're thinking, well, gee, sure it doesn't exist - that's why there's 100's of posts about it. Seriously - it doesn't even exist in memory!?!?!? here's my [snipped] output from $ ldd /usr/bin/scp linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) it references a memory location; so according to a website I won't mention; here's what cat /proc/self/maps looks like: 08048000-0804c000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 605108 /bin/cat 0804c000-0804d000 rwxp 00003000 08:01 605108 /bin/cat 0804d000-0806e000 rwxp 0804d000 00:00 0 [heap] b7cc0000-b7de8000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 981960 /usr/lib/locale/ locale-archive b7de8000-b7de9000 rwxp b7de8000 00:00 0 b7de9000-b7f10000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 539624 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/ libc-2.3.6.so b7f10000-b7f15000 r-xp 00127000 08:01 539624 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/ libc-2.3.6.so b7f15000-b7f17000 rwxp 0012c000 08:01 539624 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/ libc-2.3.6.so b7f17000-b7f1a000 rwxp b7f17000 00:00 0 b7f1e000-b7f20000 rwxp b7f1e000 00:00 0 b7f20000-b7f21000 r-xp b7f20000 00:00 0 [vdso] b7f21000-b7f36000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 523649 /lib/ld-2.3.6.so b7f36000-b7f38000 rwxp 00014000 08:01 523649 /lib/ld-2.3.6.so bfaee000-bfb03000 rw-p bfaee000 00:00 0 [stack] So - as you can see - when I say I don't have a linux-gate.so.1 on my system - I don't even have the memory range that ldd SAYS l-g.s.1 references!!!!??? so - my question is simply this - how do I fix my system, so that either l-g.s.1 IS properly referenced, or removed from my system altogether ???
