Offset beyond end of section? Looks like libtiff.so.38.2 is corrupt to me. I would remove all its objects and rebuild it and see if the problem persists, or maybe save them for comparison post-facto if you want to try to figure out how one or more became corrupt. > This popped up on i386: > -------> > cc -O2 -pipe -g -o .libs/epeg epeg_main.o -L/usr/local/lib -L../../src/lib/.libs -lepeg -ljpeg -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib > ../../src/lib/.libs/libepeg.so.0.0: undefined reference to `no symbol' > <------- > > Any pointers? Weird: if I'm reading the ld source correctly, the code to look up a symbol by name was passed a NULL pointer. Again, a corrupt library seems likely. Do you have a bad disk or a flaky NFS server in your setup? Philip Guenther
