Hi, While trying out some of the Haxe tutorials at http://haxe.org/tutos/, I found that "nekotools server" would not run on my Fedora 7 system. I found the cause of this was that the program Prelink was stripping data from the nekotools binary. Since I had noticed this same issue with some other programs (like Bitpim), and thinking it was a bug in Prelink, I reported it to Fedora's bug tracker, and received this reply:
------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-12-07 08:48 EST ------- If they concatenate ELF binaries (or shared libraries) with arbitrary data after it, without putting that at least into unallocated sections, then they are terminally broken. From a quick check of the bitpim binary in the i386.rpm on their website that's what they are doing. You can work around their bugs by adding /etc/prelink.conf.d/bitpim.conf etc. snippets which will blacklist those binaries, but really the apps should be fixed not to do this. Please report it to them and let them fix this. Would you agree with his assessment that the nekotools binary is formatted incorrectly?
