[SUMMARY] Re: missing libc.so.1

Admins,

Almost everything seems to depend on libc library.

Solutions:

1. Boot the server from CD and then copy necessary libraries from CD.

2. Check and set the LD_LIBARY_PATH environment variable.

3. Use the /usr/sbin/static/cp - statically linked cp command.

4. Execute the following command : /usr/5bin/cat
/usr/lib/libc.so.1.backup > /usr/lib/libc.so.1
	I used this one to solve my problem. It worked great!
     
5. Boot from the network, mount /usr, and fix it.

6. Ship the box back home and fix it.  :-) 

7. Two tips :

        # catting a file with no cat:
        $ (while read foo; do echo "$foo"; done;) < /etc/vfstab

        # copying a file with no cp:
        $ (while read foo; do echo "$foo"; done;) < /etc/vfstab >
/etc/vfstab.bak

8. Another two: 
	*
        while ( read var )
        do
                echo $var > /lib/libc.so.1
        done < /usr/lib/libc.so.1

	*
        tar cf - /usr/lib/libc.so.1 | ( cd /lib ; tar xf - )

Thanks a lot and Have a great night !
