[ELDK] ld.so.1 needed by libpthread.so.0 not found

[Ed Jubenville]

I found the solution with the help of an offlist email response from Christian Ege, pointing me here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9095349/eldk-gcc-linker-error-in-ld-so-1

Given my ELDK installation path and chosen platform, my solution was:
	cd /opt/eldk/usr/ppc-linux/lib
	sudo ln -s ../../../ppc_82xx/lib/ld.so.1

After that, my application built fine and was roughly the same size that I expected.

The same solution worked for me on SUSE 3.11.6 and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Thank you everyone for the help!

Dear Larry,

The ELDK 3.1.1 tools were built in March 2005 using a RedHat 7.3 based build host, with a 2.4 kernel etc.  A _lot_ of things have changed since; there is no guarantee that the old binaries will still execute correctly in the new environment - using totally different shared libraries etc.  Even if everything appears to work fine you can never be sure.

For a production environment such uncertainty is not acceptable. Here you must be able to fully trust your tools.  The only feasible approach here is to run in a supported OS environment - either on a phyical or on a virtual machine.  Given that it may be difficult to run such old kernels on current hardware (for example, you may find that there are no drivers for the S-ATA controllers in your PC), it is much easier and much less maintenannce effort to set up a virtual host.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
