RE: ELF library not found error
This was not an upgrade but rather a fresh install. I included compat7x-amd64-7.2.702000.200906.1 in the install. I've found other packages that are giving the same error. Recompiling all of the ports is something I want to avoid. The install is done through an automated process that builds a FreeBSD 8 image using a custom script, combining our custom kernel with a bunch of binary packages we want to include in the image. The result is a tarball image, and that image can then be taken and installed directly onto our target systems via a USB boot stick. We've used the same technique for 7.0 and it's worked fine. I was just thinking though: We do build our custom kernel, and the build is being done, for now, on our 7.0 build server. I got the binary ports from the net, and I assume at least some have been built on an 8.0 system. Can you combine binaries of ports that have been built on an 8.0 system with a custom kernel that was built on a 7.0 system? -Original Message- From: Norbert Papke [mailto:npa...@acm.org] Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:47 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: Peter Steele Subject: Re: ELF library not found error On November 17, 2009, Peter Steele wrote: I've installed an 8.0 RC3 system and included Python 2.5, 2.6, and 3.1.

RE: ELF library not found error
I just installed compat6x-amd64-6.4.604000.200810_3.tbz and that solved the error for Python 2.5 and 3.1, as well as several other applications that were giving that error. I'm still getting the error for a few other packages though, e.g. wireshark: # pkg_add /mnt/ports/wireshark-1.2.2.tbz pkg_add: warning: package 'wireshark-1.2.2' requires 'tiff-3.9.1_1', but 'tiff-3.9.1' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'wireshark-1.2.2' requires 'pcre-8.00', but 'pcre-7.9' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'wireshark-1.2.2' requires 'xcb-util-0.3.6_1', but 'xcb-util-0.3.6' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'wireshark-1.2.2' requires 'libxml2-2.7.6', but 'libxml2-2.7.5' is installed root@:~ # wireshark ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found If both the 6.x and 7.x compatibility packages are installed and this error still occurs, what's the culprit? -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Peter Steele Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 5:14 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: ELF library not found error This was not an upgrade but rather a fresh install.

I was thinking the same thing--too much version mismatching going on. I'm going to take your suggestion though and compile all of the ports we want to use, and then convert them back into packages. I tried that with one port that was failing and this solved the problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I tried that with one port that was failing and this solved the problem. When you do a major upgrade (ie: 6 to 7, or 7 to 8), one of the final steps recommended is to recompile all ports. The compatX packages are a stop gap until your transition is complete, and can/should be removed once all your ports have been updated. If you choose not to recompile/refectch all your ports, you are faced with the possibility of library and port dependancy breakages as each installed port updates to newer and possibly incompatible versions.
