Broke /lib64, salvageable? (ubuntu/mint12)

http://serverfault.com – In a misguided attempt to recompile ld with debug symbols, I ended up with a /lib64 that was not symlinked to /lib (Debian 64-bit libs are in in /lib/x84_64-linux-gnu). I attempted to reinstall libc6 using apt, which errored out complaining about the above. I (mistakenly) figured I could just mv /lib64 /tmp && ln -s /lib /lib64; the first command worked, leaving a broken system (/bin/ld not found etc.). Is there any way to fix this in-place? (i.e. without running a rescue disk) If I could have posted this anonymously, I would have ... [sigh] (HowTos)

clfs64 gcc update 51 weeks 4 days ago

gcc 4.6.1 -> 4.8 snapshot

libgomp & libstdc++ v3 didn't compiled on my computer, few times.

$ readelf -l a.out

then eventually i found i have no /lib64, (i have /usr/lib64 symlink).

# ln -s /lib /lib64

then tada!! it works! heh

I'm trying to install opencv libraries. There were some dependencies that apt can't locate:

libcudart4 libcufft4 libnpp4

These libraries are part of CUDA from nvidia.

I need to build an apache httpd server that will be able to run under multiple linux os (RH, SUSE, e.t.c.)

The main problem is that httpd is using shared libraries:

ldd httpd/bin/httpd linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff955fe000) libexpat.so.1 => /lib64/libexpat.so.1 (0x00007fec3df54000) librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007fec3dd4c000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib64/libcrypt

If I build python with "./configure --prefix=/opt/python2.7/Python-2.7.3 --enable-shared" I get an executable with the following libraries required by the executable:

# ldd /opt/python2.7/Python-2.7.3/bin/python2.7 libpython2.7.so.1.0 => not found libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003f6ac00000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003ec6e00000) libutil.so

The only reason those symlinks exist are for third party binary blobs where the interpreter is /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. Rather than change the hardcoded interpreter, we add the symlinks.

Hi guys,

I need to install libglut.so.3 in my Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits, so I did:

sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev

Everything seems to work fine until I get the following message: Missing libglut.so library.

So, I tried this:

sudo ls -s /usr/lib64/libglut.so.3 /usr/lib/libglut.so

Still got the same message, than I figured out that the folder /usr/lib64 doesn't exist!

When i try to run umount I got a warning message:

/lib64/libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by /lib64/libblkid.so.1)

How to correct this ?

I use CentOS 5.8 64-bit.

I am running Fedora 17, 64 bit version.

Firefox won't start.
