EDIT: I just realized I put this in the wrong forum. Can a moderator move this for me? Thanks in advance

I'm compiling Python for a small Linux image that comes with Altiris Deployment Solution and I'm missing one of the shared libraries as shown below.

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7f8c000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f77000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f73000)
libutil.so.1 => not found
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7f4d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7e1c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f8d000)


Where can I get the code to compile that library? Thanks.

I may have just found the answer. Searching through packages on Debian it looks like it comes from the libc6 package.

http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libutil&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=any

I really hate to rebuild the C library but I guess I might have to.

Example from Debian Etch : libutil.so.1 is a link to
libutil-2.3.6.so ( in /lib )

And Ubuntu 8.04 : a link to libutil-2.7.so

You should never have to change anything in libc.

Your application could be the problem ??

The problem is with the Linux image that comes from Deployment Solution. Its a small 32meg "distro" so it doesn't contain a lot of things a normal distribution would, such as the libutil library.

Since my last post I've copied that library from my Kubuntu 8.04 system to the image and it seems to be working so far but that is not always going to be case. If the library in the future uses any of the glibc 2.4 features it will break.

I would like to be able to re-create (i.e recompile) all of the changes I've made to the image in the future but I may just have to settle with this. Thanks for the comments though
