invalid ELF header

[dylan <dylan@iici.no-ip.org>]

greetings:

i have been running debian-stable (woody) for the last year or so on my 1998
PB G3 (with a 500mhz G4 installed)... and have been noticing some strange
errors after the last few apt-get upgrade cycles...

after libmysqlclient10 was installed, ld reported:
libmysqlclient10.x.x.so is not an ELF file, wrong magic bytes at the start

anyone have any ideas about this?

after some googling i saw a few responses mentioning turning off DMA for the
hard disk, but this doesn't seem to fix my problems...

attempting to load the mysql client results in:
'Invalid ELF header'


any help would be appreciated!

thanks,

Dylan
