My upgrade went pretty smoothly, generally, but, I'm kind of stuck on one smallish point. The M3 libraries seem to be a.out format only, but, newly downloaded versions of some utilities are looking for ELF versions of the libraries and these are not being found. For example, if I try to run cvsup, it seems to be looking for an ELF version of "libm3formsvbt.so.6" and can't find it. Since I can't get cvsup to work, I can't get the ports directory in sync, and so I'm nervous about trying to rebuild the M3 libraries. At this point, I'm not sure what the simplest way out of this little circle is. > To start with, > > 1) New boot blocks. > > 2) Incompatible wtmp and utmp between versions. > > 3) Rebuild shared-lib hints. Could you be specific on how to do this to resolve the above problem wrt the M3 libraries? -- Hugh LaMaster, M/S 233-21, Email: lamaster@nren.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center Or: lamaster@nas.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 Or: lamaster@george.arc.nasa.gov Phone: 650/604-1056 Disc: Unofficial, personal *opinion*.
