eggdrop wont load. something about a bad ELF interpreter

2007-12-01T12:15:30-04:00

I've seen this on BSD systems when people try to run a binary designed for GNU/Linux.
Compiling the bot from source on the shell should solve this problem.

Hell, its outdated even in the OLD kernels, I'm still running a 2.4.x system and have no such lib. I am assuming it's a non-linux system that uses ld-elf to support linux cross-compiling or running elf binaries.

lol i knew it was old. just didn't think it was that old.

-bash: ./eggdrop: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

that's outdated in the recent linux kernel versions, and no longer used. I dont know if redhat kernel uses it, but gentoo systems dont.

im pretty sure its redhat, and we didnt have problems with the other shell account, same configs on both eggdrops.

Lemme guess, you're using a precompiled eggdrop binary? The error indicates that ld-elf.so.1 is not being found. I'll further assume you are not on a Linux platform (which would not need any ld-elf.so lib, since ELF is inherent in Linux's libs/kernel by default.) But maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're using a redhat derivative, which tend to do things in a completely non-standard way.

If you are using a precompiled, packaged eggdrop, get rid of it, go get the source code and compile your own.
