Subject: Scilab compiling problem
Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 02:13:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <373A192B.F6940925@wanadoo.fr> (raw)


Since I had scilab running on linuxppc-R5 a long time ago, I wanted to
give the src.rpm from the redhat powertools directory a try. After a
little tweaking, it compiles OK and goes almost all the way through the
process of building the binary rpm.

Right at the end, it stops after the following lines

+ cd /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/bin
+ ln -s ../lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/scilab scilab
+ exit 0
Processing files: scilab

BFD: /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/SEpsf: invalid string
offset 2147706880 >= 256 for section `'

After this it sits there and does nothing until killed by ctrl-C.

Does anyone know what this means? What is BFD?
Is this a bug in a) rpm b) binutils c) egcs d) somewhere else?
The file .../SEpsf is a binary which seems to run OK.
