Hello!
I've been preparing some FreeBSD boxes for the new project going on, and
when I already created all needed images, and cloned my second box, I
encountered this problem:
$ man whatever
it yields
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Cannot open "/usr/lib/libz.so.2"
Which is very strange :-(
When I say
$ ldd `which man`
I get
/usr/bin/man:
libz.so.2 => not found (0x0)
libc.so.4 => not found (0x0)
But (!) when I say
$ ldd `which fetch`
I get what I normally should:
/usr/bin/fetch:
libfetch.so.2 => /usr/lib//libfetch.so.2 (0x2806a000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib//libc.so.4 (0x28074000)
Note that both man and fetch are linked against libc.so.4, but it does not
find it in case of man.
Grepping ldconfig output yields:
$ ldconfig -r|grep libz
53:-lz.2 => /usr/lib/libz.so.2
Frankly, I don't quite understand what happened. Manuals *used* to work,
that's for sure.
I tought of corrupted libraries, but all MD5 sums matched what they
should. I even reinstalled man (cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/man && make all
install) -- didn't help. I removed all hints from /var/run and remade
them, no effect.
What surprised me as well, was:
$ touch /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
touch: ld-elf.so.1: Text file busy
What this `text` thing is about?
I'd really appreciate this problem solved, and many thanks in advance for
any help with regard to this.
Oh yeah, it's FreeBSD-4.2-STABLE snapshot from 20010402, kernel/world made
on SMP box (p3x2).
Any additional information is available upon request.

P.S. Sorry for x-posting, I was not quite sure where this letter should
have really went.
