Bob, You can use rpm to re-install the vanilla glibc rpms since rpm is a static binary. I was playing around with my libs as well one day and rendered the system rather useless. Provided you have network connectivity you should be able to do something to the extent of: rpm -i ftp://redhat.mirror/path/to/glibc/rpms Hope that helps. -Rod On Mon, 4 Sep 2000, Bob Manson wrote:

I can run ls, but ls -l fails with a "Segmentation fault" as do many other commands, so I can't even look to see if I've got any zero length lib files. I am (I was) running: Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot) Kernel 2.2.16-3 on an i686 Any suggestions? thanks, bob --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Manson Phone (416)978-5898 Systems Administrator, ECF Fax (416)978-7320 University of Toronto email bob () ecf utoronto ca Toronto, Canada M5S 1A4 or bob () ecf toronto edu "It is preferable not to travel with a dead man." --- Henri Michaux
