I did upgrade some other packages (possibly including ldso) at the same time, but libc6 seemed to be the most likely suspect. It seems to be a loader problem. Consider the following: _tashkent% ldd /sunos/bin/bc -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.9 -ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0 _tashkent% ldd /usr/pv/netscape/netscape_dns [Sits there until I hit Control-C.] _tashkent% file /sunos/bin/bc /usr/pv/netscape/netscape_dns /sunos/bin/bc: sparc demand paged dynamically linked executable /usr/pv/netscape/netscape_dns: sparc demand paged dynamically linked executable --Paul Vojta, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
