You NEED to figure out why this is happening. Is the entire /etc
directory gone, or something?
Show some basic initiative. Look around. Show us what abnormal things
are going on with your system.
ls -ld / /etc /etc/ld.*
strace /sbin/ldconfig
Do something, do ANYTHING useful!
Thank you for your helpful comment. Unfortunately. I am an Organioc
Chemist, not an IT person. Therefore, I am only a user.
Now, strace is not installed, nor can I install it, thanks to the error
messages.
Might this help?
