[ale] Repair Problems

[Joe Steele]

Your 'rpm -V' results are telling you that the link for 
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 has been altered.  You now have it linked to 
/lib/lib.so (which seems like a strange library name to me).  
Instead, it should be linked to /lib/ld-2.2.4.so.  This should fix it:

   cd /lib
   ln -s ld-2.2.4.so ld-linux.so.2

If you type 'nm /lib/ld-2.2.4.so', you will see that it is the source 
for the symbol _dl_cpuclock_offset.

ALErs -

I would appreciate some help fixing problems I've introduced into a RH-7.2
installation.

History: in trying to set up parallel libs and ld to support 'libc5'
utilities, I seem to have trashed /lib/libg-2.2.4.so and/or some related
files.

When I try to start 'vi', I get:
************************************************************************

vim: relocation error: /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0: undefined symbol:
_dl_cpuclock_offset

Searching:
# ldd /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0
    libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4002c000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

# ls -l /lib/ld* /lib/lib.*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  root     464161 Dec  8 09:04 /lib/ld-2.2.4.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  root          6 Feb 25 12:50 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ->
lib.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  root     646161 Feb 15 17:18 /lib/lib.so

# rpm -V glibc-2.2.4-19.3
...L...  /lib/ld-linux.so.2

************************************************************************
Dates and times are probably not representative of the original setup, due
to my messing around trying to fix things.

>>Bottom line:<<
 How can I get back a working setup? Is there an  'rpm' option that says:
 "Put it back together the way it was when it was installed!"

Thanks.
