Ldd Tool

[cwall]

Installed ldd from 3.5.4 on sl-5500 and tried it against libqdasher.so, libqmultikey.so and libqpickboard.so, and did not get any output.  Tried ldd --help and that gives an output. Are the libq* files complied as static, or am I missing something for ldd to fully work? It did not indicate any depends in its ipkg description.
   Thanks

Interesting....

Does it work against the actual lib file (rather than the symlink)?

What about when you run it against a binary executable (rather than a lib)?

No it also does not work with executables or run against the direct file instead of the link.

Hi Mickey
  Not sure what you are suggesting, since that line is in the ldd script.  On the weekend I got the ldd scipt from Debian 3.1 and changed the first line to use sh instead of bash, and installed on the SL-5500.  It works fine and gives the outputs which I would expect when it is run against executables and also the plugin libs.  So something is not right in the existing script in the 3.5.4 feed.
         Cheers

Looking further on the net I have found that "set -o pipefail"  in the ldd script casues ash shell in busybox to exit.

Busy box bug  

http://bugs.uclibc.org/view.php?id=794

The work arount is to remove the "set -o pipefail" which is a test to see if it is running on Bash 3.x or fix busybox so it does not choke on the line.
