Urgent !!! rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.1: cannot open shared
 

Hello All,

When i do anything that is related with RPM it gives me the following error

[root@server ]# rpm
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[root@server ]# rpm -Uvh rpm-4.0.4-7x.18.i386.rpm
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any Help

Regards,
Tina.

So....
 

Do you have that libelf?

Hello,

I am on Redhat 7.3 and i installed the RPM package for Redhat 9.I compiled libelf.so.0 and it requires libelf.so.1 which i don't have.

Regards,

my version of rpm is staticly linked. could you try to get the RPM for your version of RPM and use the old RPM to install it ???

otherwise

one trick is to make a link called libelf.so.1 and link to your old libelf.so.0, run ldconfig and see if its fooled.

hello tina,

I ran into the same problem, when installing rpmbuild.
Anyway, running

as root solved the inconsistency.

Hope that helps.

This worked for me:
...just don't ask me why.
I'm running CentOS 5.
Cheers!

Edit:
My error was slightly different
