Hi all,

Since a few weeks ago I get this error when starting my computer:

Waiting for namcd initialitation to complete
./usr/sbin/namcd: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libnam.so.0: invalid ELF header.

I don’t know exactly when it started. Does anybody know something about it?

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (i586)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2
Novell client 2.0 sp2 for linux installed and LUM

Thanks

Hi
Something like that would be created by installing the x86_64 version…

Do you have a /usr/lib64 directory?

No, I don’t

What’s the output of

$ file /usr/lib/libnam.so.0 $ ldd /usr/lib/libnam.so.0 $ rpm -qf --queryformat='%{name}-%{version} %{arch}\ ' /usr/lib/libnam.so.0

This is the output:

SSCC066-linux:~ # file /usr/lib/libnam.so.0 /usr/lib/libnam.so.0: symbolic link to `libnam.so.0.0.0' SSCC066-linux:~ # file /usr/lib/libnam.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libnam.so.0.0.0: POSIX tar archive (GNU) SSCC066-linux:~ # ldd /usr/lib/libnam.so.0 not a dynamic executable SSCC066-linux:~ # ldd /usr/lib/libnam.so.0.0.0 not a dynamic executable SSCC066-linux:~ # rpm -qf --queryformat='%{name}-%{version} %{arch}\ ' /usr/lib/libnam.so.0 novell-lum-2.2.0.16 i586

Thanks a lot for your help.

Well that seems wrong! I don’t have a 32bit machine to check with, but I just installed novell-lum package on a 64bit machine and

linux-b4fu:~ # file /usr/lib64/libnam.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib64/libnam.so.0.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
You could try uninstallating the novell-lum package and re-installing it. I can uninstall it with

$ rpm -e novell-lum

there’s not complaints about dependencies.

Thanks a lot. I reinstalled the package. On next monday I’ll try if it works.
