Are the core dumps actually from ldconfig? Or has the loss of ELF libraries impared your shell somehow? ulimit() and setup() are not things I associate with ldconfig, but rather the shell. If it is the shell, make sure to use /bin/sh or /bin/csh until you can fix the problem. Do a 'ls -l' of /sbin and make sure the ldconfig executable has not been corrupted (its modification time should be close to all of the other programs in there). Oh, and maybe try using the full pathname... but I don't know why there would be another program called 'ldconfig' in your path. If all of that does not work, you might want to grab the ldconfig executable from the most convenient source (CD or website). What kind of modifications have you made, if you are aware of any, to your base system? -- Crist J.
