Linked against libc5 AND libc6?
Hi there, I've got an odd problem ...
I'll ask the questions first:
What can I do about a binary that is linked against libc5 and libc6? It
(of course) segfaults every time I try to run it.
Now, the explanation:
We recently purchased a Bay Networks 8000 Remote Access Concentrator.
This box needs a UNIX (or NT) machine behind it for authentication
purposes. Bay distributes a CD with the software on it - amazingly,
Linux binaries were pre-built (good thing since the source wouldn't
compile, but that's a question for a different list).
The pre-built binaries are linked against libc5 and libc6. I'm not too
sure why they did this, but I had to set up a bo box to get this to
work. (Perhaps they were thinking that a libc6 box wouldn't have
libc5.so installed?)
kepler:/usr/annex $ ldd erpcd
libdb.so.2 => /lib/libdb.so.2 (0x4000a000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40018000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400d6000)
ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40179000)
At any rate, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent this
thing from trying to load either of the shared libs. I don't understand
shared libraries and all that underlying stuff to well yet, so go easy
on me :)
If it's a flat "No Way In Hell", that's ok - I'll just have to get this
source to compile under libc5 OR libc6, right?
Sorry for being ignorant on this stuff - I'm trying to learn it. Thanks
in advance ...
