To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 15 Sep 1995 10:57:51 -0500 (CDT) Cc: mikebo@tellab5 (Mike Borowiec) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Is there a bug in "ar"? I wanted to replace a .so module in libc.so so I did: # cd /usr/lib # mkdir tmp # cd tmp # ar x ../libc_pic.a ar: ../libc_pic.a: Inappropriate file type or format Though 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"? Can anyone shed light on this? - 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
