Hi there, ] What I'm doing is running a pipe between two background processes. Opening ] pipe for reading and writing both fail "illegal seek". Does this qualify ] as "special requirements" ?
Not at all. Probably your program is trying some funny file-oriented syscall on the pipe, so it fails. You can't do lseek on a pipe, for example. ] In any event I'm curious now to know what this file does do (and perhaps ] some example of the sort of special requirements that might require it) ? man ld.so It will give you some insight on how the shared libraries get loaded.
