PLEASE help me..... this is serious


I'm sitting at a client site right now, and I was faced with the task of updating glibc (I know, I know)... so I compiled it from scratch, and then instead of ln -sf'ing /lib/ld-linux.so.2 I rm'ed it with the intention of ln -s'ing it afterwards... now of course (I should have seen this coming) I'm getting:

bash: /bin/ln: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Whenever I do anything...........

PLEASE someone must have a solution... various things do work, mainly Nautilus, firebird and some other GNOME tools, but I have to make that symlink or it's my ass....


PLLLLLEEEEAAAAAASSSEEEE HEEEEELLLLLLP MEEEEEEEEEE

TYVMIA

redhat 8... but distro has nothing to do with the problem... I'm thinking I'll boot the redhat 8 install CD's and try to discern which partition has linux on it...

thanks for the response

PHEW... I fixed it... I rebooted into the rescue console off the linux CD's and remade the link... that was absolutely harrowing...

Thank you for the response Tink, I appreciate it
