Problem with glibc after updating to SuSE Linux 6.0
Symptom:
After updating to SuSE 6.0, you call up a program and recieve a number of
noticable error messages, in particular, related to glibc libraries, for
example:
/usr/sbin/afpd: error in loading shared libraries
>>>> : undefined symbol:__register_frame_info
Reason:
You installed a version of StarOffice from an older version of SuSE Linux
which uses a different glibc version. With the update to SuSE Linux 6.0
you copied incompatible versions of these libraries into the /lib
directory.
Solution:
Procede as follows (in this example the root partition is /dev/hda5):
- Start the rescue system from the CD.
- Mount the Root partition under /mnt:
mount /dev/hda5 /mnt
- Change to the /lib directory:
cd /mnt/lib
- Delete the file ld-linux.so.2 and all files that end with -2.0.7.so,
for example:
rm ld-linux.so.2 *-2.0.7.so
- Change back to the root partition:
cd /
- Umount the root partition:
umount /mnt
and boot to the SuSE Linux installation system.
- Select the option to update. Pay particular attention that the
package shlibs gets installed.
Never perform this on a running system. This can cause significant
damage to your sytem!
