find not working in FC1

[Varick]

I administer a old FC1 server that magically within the last month no longer allows find to work. Selinux was never installed or enabled, but suddenly it is looking for a shared object file. Nothing was changed by the client, and nothing was changed by us. And this starting happening on the mirrored server as well, exact same issue.

error:

[root@aalarm2 bin]# find / -name basic -print
find: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory


[root@aalarm2 usr]# ldd /bin/rpm

help! the find command is part of our nightly backup script, so that is currently not working. Thanks in advance.

Show us:

su -
whereis find

[marcrblevins]

Also:

su -
rpm -qa | grep find

[Varick]

[root@aalarm2 basic]# whereis find
find: /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/find.mon /usr/bin/find.orig /usr/share/man/man1/fin
d.1.gz /usr/share/man/mann/find.n.gz

[Varick]

[root@aalarm2 basic]# rpm -qa | grep find
findutils-4.1.7-17

[marcrblevins]

You are missing one in /bin/find

Here is my result from Fedora 9.

[root@kiriyamablevins ~]# whereis find
find: /bin/find /usr/bin/find /usr/share/man/man1p/find.1p.gz /usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz
[root@kiriyamablevins ~]#

Can you run the rpm -qa command I mentioned earlier?

[Varick]

[root@aalarm2 basic]# su -
[root@aalarm2 basic]# rpm -qa | grep find
findutils-4.1.7-17

[marcrblevins]

Can you reinstall the fileutils rpm file from your fedora core 1 DVD?

[Varick]

When I try and reinstall findutils it acts like it installed, but it doesnt seem to, even with a force. I just also force installed glibc-common-2.3.2-101.i386.rpm and glibc-2.3.2-101.i386.rpm. The good news, find works now. The bad news, ls and date dont anymore. The new error is :

[root@aalarm2 drivers]# ls
ls: relocation error: /lib/i686/librt.so.1: symbol __pthread_clock_settime, vers
ion GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference

so do I need to reinstall something else, or can I just change a pointer location?

[Varick]

nevermind, I got it. I had to move the old file and make a new symbolic link that pointed to the correct file.

cd /lib/i686
mv librt.so.1 librt.so.1.old
ln -s /lib/librt-2.3.2.so librt.so.1

and now everthing seems to be working correctly.

Thanks, for all your help.

FC1 is DEAD AND INSECURE. I hope this is not Internet connected, or you roll your own security updates.

RHEL or CentOS are longer life releases much more suited to a system lasting longer than a year.
