Shoutcast Server 1.9.5 on Freebsd 5.1

piscitella · 28th December 2004, 18:55

Looking for some help with new Shoutcast Server on FreeBsd 5.1 I get the following error when try to start server.

bash-2.05b$ ./sc_serv
ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found
Abort trap

FreeBSD ns2 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Wed Jul 16 08:02:16 MST 2003

I have older version running on BSD 4.9 but would like to get working on 5

thanks

Try installing the 4.x compat libraries and see if that helps as it has solved most compatibilitity issues.

The sc_serv is looking for the ld-elf.so.1 in the /libexec directory. This directory DOES NOT exist as the library is located in the /usr/libexec directory.

As a simply way of getting it working I created a /libexec directory and did a symbolic link to the actual library file. I am thinking that the sc_serv program really should be looking in the correct location.

The compat4.x lib does not contain this library.

It is correct location. (/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is symlink to /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 now)
You should really upgrade your FreeBSD.
I can accept someone running older version of 4-STABLE branch for years for various reason... but keeping 5.1-R? with all those debugging bit turned on and security hole(s)?

I'm running FreeBSD 5.1-R, and upgrading isn't really feasible (not to mention FreeBSD 5.3 has problems on some hardware). I considered using a symlink to get around this problem, but because I have my usr directory on a different partition than my home directory I can't.

Any other suggestions? or should I just tell my shoutcast customers they'll have to go go elsewhere?

Did you try the Linux DNAS in compatability mode?

I don't know about backward compatibility issue(since it is 5.2.1 binary, it might not work because of incompatible linker or library), but symlink should work regardless of partition.

mkdir /libexec
ln -s /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 /libexec

Worked, just couldn't remember the syntax for a softlink.
