I'm assuming you grabbed the correct RPMs for your particular Cobalt product
(e.g. early mips-based Cube or Raq)?

If so, then I'll also assume you kept the box updated with the relevant
patches and whatnot?


If your ld.so >= 1.0 (see previous email),  try the following from a shell:

$ ls -l /lib | grep ld.so

If you see something like:

-rwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         102k Mar 21  1999 ld.so.1.x.x

and *don't* see:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 Mar 22  1999 ld.so.1 ->
ld.so.1.x.x

It may just be a missing symlink.  Try:

$ cd /lib
$ ln -s ld.so.1.x.x ld.so.1

and retry the RPM installation.

*DISCLAIMER*
I haven't worked with any of the early MIPS based Cobalt hardware, so I'm
going by my general knowledge only.  Some filenames and paths may be a bit
different than what's listed above.
