Just taking a quick look at the FSF readelf sources, it appears that you will get this message if there is no .dynamic section, or if DT_HASH is missing in the dynamic section. That implies that either you don't have a shared library, or it is corrupted. readelf -d will show the .dynamic section if there is one. There should be a symbol HASH inside it. You can try checking to see if an FSF binutils release works. I don't have access to RHEL5, so I can't comment further on that. If this doesn't help, then we will likely need a testcase that we can use to reproduce the problem. Or you could try debugging readelf to see what is going on. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.specifix.com
