mount error 79 = Can not access a needed shared library

mount error 79 = Can not access a needed shared library

[Thomas Wolff]

My attempt to mount with -o iocharset=utf8 fails with this message:
mount error 79 = Can not access a needed shared library

By google, I found one hint to "compile and install" nls_utf8.ko but 
without a mention of where to get that from or how to proceed anyway 
(very funny).

The system is Debian on a ppc, uname -a:
Linux MyBookLive 2.6.32.11-svn21605 #1 Fri Oct 15 17:13:23 PDT 2010 ppc 
GNU/Linux

aptitude search does not show any useful results for nls

What is the output of command the  dmesg?  Does lsmod show nls_utf8
as one of the loaded modules?  You can try modprobe nls_utf8 and check
with lsmod whether it is loaded or not!

All those NLS related stuff is built into the kernel - usually as
modules. So you _cannot_ just install those kernel modules "on the fly".

Some linux .config file (used for the kernel build) might contain
CONFIG_NLS=y
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="utf8"
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=m
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_737=m
...
Which results to nls kernel modules in e.g.
lib/modules/2.6.32.11-svn21605/kernel/fs/nls/

Note - check for subpath "2.6.32.11-svn21605" above - it might be
different.
Strange is that utf8 seems to be not build-in in your kernel version.
(Should be the default for years)

Cheers, Günter
