You need to mimic the installation in you cross development environment, e.g. if your cross development libraries are in /usr/cross/lib on your host you should put them at the same place on your ramdisk.
In addition you nee the linker in /lib, i.e. something like the following -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 182887 Apr 16 2000 ld-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 11 Aug 23 2000 ld.so.1 -> ld-2.1.3.so The linker is in /usr/cross/lib on your cross development host. There is a lot of stuff in /usr/cross/lib. Some you need some you don't. I managed to cut the libs down to the following, and you might even strip it more. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 3652 Aug 17 2000 libBrokenLocale-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 20 Aug 23 2000 libBrokenLocale.so -> libBrokenLocale.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 24 Aug 23 2000 libBrokenLocale.so.1 -> libBrokenLocale-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 9996 Aug 17 2000 libSegFault.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 1467224 Aug 18 2000 libc-2.1.3.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 194 Apr 16 2000 libc.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 13 Aug 23 2000 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 33076 Aug 17 2000 libcrypt-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 13 Aug 23 2000 libcrypt.so -> libcrypt.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 17 Aug 23 2000 libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 343592 Aug 17 2000 libm-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 9 Aug 23 2000 libm.so -> libm.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 13 Aug 23 2000 libm.so.6 -> libm-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 18171 Apr 16 2000 libnss_dns-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 15 Aug 23 2000 libnss_dns.so -> libnss_dns.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 19 Aug 23 2000 libnss_dns.so.2 -> libnss_dns-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 57328 Apr 25 2000 libnss_files-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 17 Sep 26 2000 libnss_files.so -> libnss_files.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 21 Sep 26 2000 libnss_files.so.2 -> libnss_files-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 86410 Apr 28 2000 libproc.so.2.0.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 89632 Aug 17 2000 libpthread-0.8.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 15 Aug 23 2000 libpthread.so -> libpthread.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 17 Aug 23 2000 libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-0.8.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 69880 Aug 17 2000 libresolv-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 14 Aug 23 2000 libresolv.so -> libresolv.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 18 Aug 23 2000 libresolv.so.2 -> libresolv-2.1.3.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root 0 346572 Aug 17 2000 libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 31 Aug 23 2000 libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 11935 Apr 25 2000 libutil-2.1.3.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 12 Sep 25 2000 libutil.so -> libutil.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 16 Sep 25 2000 libutil.so.1 -> libutil-2.1.3.so Hope this helps, K.D. -----Original Message----- From: jonb at marel.is [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 6. okt?ber 2000 12:13 To: linuxppc-embedded at lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Problem with shared libraries in HHL with initrd Hi I am using Hard Hat Linux 1.2 with a custom MPC823 board and I am trying to create a minimal initial ram disk, so the board can boot without having an NFS root file system. I am having a problem because shared libraries are not being found. For example init reports: init: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My minimal file system has the following directories: /bin, /dev and /lib . I put the shared libs in the /lib directory. In /bin I have init, sh and ls, copied from /opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/target/bin. I seems the system expects to find the shared libraries in some other directory than /lib. I saw some discussion on the list about some symbolic links being required to get this working, but I have tried everything I can think of. Everything is fine if I use staticly linked binaries. Can anyone give me directions ? Does someone have a "minroot.tar.gz" made with HHL 1.2 ? Regards, Jon Benediktsson Marel hf. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
