Ummm... excuse me, but is someone responsible for tracking and acknowledging submissions to the "bugs" list, or is this simply a BLACK-HOLE? I fail to see how the "bugs" list can be effective if its subscribers only pick-up and/or acknowledge "interesting" or "critical" problems. I'm re-submitting my "bug" in the hopes that someone will at least look at it... - Mike Greetings - Posted this to the "questions" list, but got no response... I wanted to replace an .so module in libc.so so, in order to grab the previously built PIC objects and not have to rebuild them all from scratch (please, don't lecture me on how easy it is... 8v), I did: # cd /usr/lib # mkdir tmp # cd tmp # ar x ../libc_pic.a ar: ../libc_pic.a: Inappropriate file type or format Although there are QUITE A FEW .so objects in /usr/lib/tmp, the RPC objects (specifically, I'm trying to replace the hacked up clnt_udp.so object) which should be in the libc.so appear not to be there! Looks like the extract died before completing. Is this a bug in "ar", or am I doing something wrong? I KNOW how easy it is to "cd /usr/src/lib/libc; make", the problem is that THIS SHOULD WORK. I can duplicate this at will on two seperate 2.0.5-RELEASE boxes, so I'm fairly certain this is a bug. Can anyone shed light on this? I'd be happy to provide list of the files which were successfully extracted, or any other info. Thanks... - Mike -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Borowiec Network Operations Tellabs Operations, Inc. mikebo@TELLABS.COM 1000 Remington Blvd. MS109 708-378-6007 FAX: 708-378-6714 Bolingbrook, IL, USA 60440 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
