|

prelink -av gives me:
prelink: Can't walk directory tree /usr/lib/: Too many levels of symbolic links
This has never happened before (and I didn't install much after last time I prelinked)
Any thoughts on what's going on ?

When I run prelink I do
prelink -amRv
could one of those options be doing it? |

.
Code: | Too many levels of symbolic links |
too many things in /usr/lib (symlink to /usr/lib64), or bad symlink? |

I found that /usr/lib/lib was linking to itself. Removing it allowed prelink to finish. _________________ Blog: common sense – nonsense |

Sorry for up an old topic, but i have the same problem
prelink -amvfR
prelink: /usr/bin/lddlibc4: Using /lib32/ld-linux.so.2, not /lib/ld-linux.so.2 as dynamic linker
prelink: Failed searching /lib/: Too many levels of symbolic links
Tried symlinks -drv / , but nothing changed..
I use ~amd64
sys-devel/prelink-20100106
sys-libs/glibc-2.11-r1
sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1 |

Yes, I think so.. search times will be reduced.... I mean no matter how fast the access times, the process and the SSD WILL have to search for the relevant libs.
Anyway, I'm having the same issue

I tried symlinks. _________________ My blog |

Afaik prelinking doesn't really provide any runtime performance advantages. Just makes things load faster. |

Does anybody knows how to inform Plasma 5 that it is prelinked? I don't know if the old method for KDE4 still applies.*
*I mean this Code: | Set KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1 in /etc/env.d/*kdepaths* to inform KDE about the prelinking. |
EDIT: Haven't seen the date of the last answer. |
