Marten,

* Compiling the stuff on SunOS 4.1.3 is without any problems. But I think * I have a problem running the 4.9 named. * * After I type "/usr/etc/in.named", I get the message: * * ld.so: libc.so.8: not found * * Weird, I would say, since the file "/usr/lib/libc.so.8" is present on the * system I try it on (and, yes, I also did a "ldconfig" after placing the * file in /usr/lib). * * Does somebody have a clue for me? Thanks for your concern.

Just compiled the thing, and no problems seen so far. Everything seems to work just fine. Check what is in file /etc/ld.so.cache (using strings , to see if it knows libc.so.8. Maybe even you should throw away that cache file, and run ldconfig as in your rc.* files. Also, libc.so.8 is quite a high number if you ask me, rebuild the libc a lot ? We're just on 1.7.1. Then again, we run SunOS 4.1.2, but there's hardly any differences between the two ...

I threw away libc.so.8 and rebuilt libc.so (I know have a version number 1.8.4 locally). Everything is working fine now (and ns.surfnet.nl is running 4.9 BIND). Thanks for pointing me into the libc.so itself direction. __ Erik-Jan.
