Re: Fwd: (Help Me!) Errors while Compiling NX Src on FREEBSD machine (5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0:)

[jd . bronson]

shadow# locate libc.so
/lib/libc.so.5
/usr/lib/libc.so

ok lets try that command without the '*' at the end:


shadow# /usr/bin/file /usr/lib/libc.so
/usr/lib/libc.so: symbolic link to `/lib/libc.so.5'

shadow# /usr/bin/file /lib/libc.so.5
/lib/libc.so.5: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 
(FreeBSD), stripped

shadow# echo __ELF__ |  gcc  -E  -  |  grep  __ELF__  > /dev/null
shadow#

(I get nothing back????)

Bingo!  Where is libc located at?
What does
  /usr/bin/file /path/to/libc.so.*
give, if you put in the correct path?

Please replace $CC with the compiler you use and retry.

It'd be even greater if you could retry with a recent Libtool.
But that can wait until after we fix the libc location.

Thank you for your fast response,
