Hello,
Hopefully I am sending this to the correct mailing list but it seemed best suited for troubleshooting :-)
I am trying to fix Subversion which isn't working for me on one of our machines: every attempt to run 'svn ls' or 'svn co' ends in: svnserve: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Which is strange as the symlink is present in /lib/libexpat.so.0 (which points to /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0) and /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 - I even tried copying an identical libexpat.so.0.5.0 from another machine. Next I ran 'ldd -r /usr/bin/svnserve': || ldd -r /usr/bin/svnserve linux-gate.so.1 => (0x009df000) libsvn_repos-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.0 (0x008a1000) libsvn_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs-1.so.0 (0x00110000) libsvn_fs_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_fs-1.so.0 (0x0034f000) libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0 (0x00c2d000) libsvn_fs_util-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_util-1.so.0 (0x00857000) libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_delta-1.so.0 (0x00f5f000) libsvn_subr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_subr-1.so.0 (0x00ac1000) libsvn_ra_svn-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_svn-1.so.0 (0x0094d000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00d8d000) libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x0026c000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x06dfd000) libldap-2.3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 (0x005f6000) liblber-2.3.so.0 => /usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0 (0x007b5000) libdb-4.3.so => /lib/libdb-4.3.so (0x07144000) libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x0086a000) libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00116000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00d74000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00d45000) libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x06c45000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0036d000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00d64000) libpq.so.4 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.4 (0x00167000) libsqlite3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 (0x0028b000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x0013e000) libssl.so.6 => /lib/libssl.so.6 (0x00a78000) libcrypto.so.6 => /lib/libcrypto.so.6 (0x004b0000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00bdd000) libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x009e3000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x001bb000) libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0x00771000) libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00337000) libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x00187000) libkrb5support.so.0 => /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 (0x005eb000) libkeyutils.so.1 => /lib/libkeyutils.so.1 (0x0033c000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x001d2000) libsepol.so.1 => /lib/libsepol.so.1 (0x00dad000)
As you can see, all libs are found and present. I tried installing a custom Subversion 1.5.1 RPM which also fails the same way. Finally I installed all build tools and build the SRPM into a binary RPM and guess what? It also fails...
I tried rebooting the server, running 'yum update' a couple of times and right now I'm out of ideas....
I am running CentOS 5.2 - 32-bit in a virtual machine (don't think the latter matters but right now I don't know where to look for the cause).
