gcc 3.2.2 problem, any help welcome

Hello All,

When re-compiling my kernel since an upgrade to gcc 3.2.2/binutils, i have the following lost library problem.

"error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.13.90.0.16.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

slocate libbfd provides a different version installed:

/usr/lib/libbfd-2.13.90.0.20.so
/usr/lib/libbfd.so
/usr/lib/libbfd.a
/usr/lib/libbfd.la

So how do I compile against the new library? I've done many env-updates, and gcc-config -l provides:
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.2

relevent: ls.so.conf
# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2

Any help is welcome.

Hmmm...
This seems strange.
I have the same version of the library as you have and have never seen that error.

Which kernel source are you trying to compile?
I use ck-sources and mm-sources without a problem.

Could you also post the the last 40-50 lines of the compile prior to the error, including the error so we can see exactly where ti is triggered?

I will post the last bits of the kernel compile when I get home (at work now). I am compiling the fairly simple gentoo sources 2.4.20-r2 without any fancy patches. It's towards the very end of the compile and is called by binutil "as".

I have compiled this kernel at least 10 times without incident. The only change i made to the config since the last compile is the addition of a compiled in rtc.

Regards,

C.

here are the compile lines leading up to my problem

Hmm.
The as assembler is part of the binutils package.
Check the version with as --version and it should retunr the same as your binutils package.

Even if it does, try to re-emerge binutils.

I just ran "as" through strace. The version of binutils I had built were the bleeding edge binutils-2.13.90.0.20-r1 ebuild.
For whatever reason, the .20 version of "as" is linked to the older version .16 of libbfd. Libbfd is part of the binutils package, and is compiled as part of the binutils package.

I am about to install binutils-2.13.90.0.18-r1 to see if the problem occurs there as well.....

Yup, same error, evern trying to do an "as --version" returns the error:

as --version
as: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.13.90.0.16.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

linux # slocate libbfd
/usr/lib/libbfd-2.13.90.0.18.so
/usr/lib/libbfd.so
/usr/lib/libbfd.a
/usr/lib/libbfd.la

The problem is this.. I found the following:
Apr 16 18:10 /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as
Mar 27 22:13 /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2/as

The bin directory obviously changed at some point in the versions and the symlinks were created in /bin and /usr/bin, each pointing to a different version.. VERY annoying.

Can you try to make a symbolic link between the current library and the one that as complains about?
