No. My versions of ldso and libc are lup to date slink. Furthermore, my binaries check out precisely (md5summed) with those belongin to another member of this list, who has now problem. My current working hypothesis is that this is a 'sun4c' only problem. The RedHat-Sparc page (FWIW) lists the 4c series as 'tier 2' supported, because 'the kernel has some MMU problems with these machines'. I'd be interested for anyone on this list to email me (personally, I'll repost a summary to the list) the effect of 'ldd /usr/lib/libm.so', followed by 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'. I'll compile the results and see if there is a common factor. In fact, to be complete, why not run 'dpkg -l ldso' 'dpkg -l libc6' first. Here is what I am talking about: pinacolada:~# dpkg -l ldso Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii ldso 1.9.9-1 The Linux dynamic linker, library and utilit pinacolada:~# dpkg -l libc6 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii libc6 2.0.93-980414- The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) pinacolada:~# ldd /usr/lib/libm.so ldd: /usr/lib/libm.so exited with signal 11 pinacolada:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : Cypress/ROSS CY7C601 fpu : Texas Instruments TMS390-C602A promlib : Version 2 Revision 2 prom : 2.4 type : sun4c ncpus probed : 1 ncpus active : 1 BogoMips : 39.83 vacsize : 65536 bytes vachwflush : yes vaclinesize : 32 bytes mmuctxs : 16 mmupsegs : 256 kernelpsegs : 32 kfreepsegs : 0 usedpsegs : 184 ufreepsegs : 4 user_taken : 0 max_taken : 147 context : 7631 flushes segment : 121670 flushes page : 1266019 flushes /----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------\ | Jelibean aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 6 Evelyn Rd | | Jules aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Richmond, Surrey | | Julian Bean | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TW9 2TF *UK* | +----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+ | War doesn't demonstrate who's right... just who's left. | | When privacy is outlawed... only the outlaws have privacy. | \----------------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
