system is Pentium, video card is S3 86C765 Frequency: 100% reproducible Install linux 6.1 run X windows using "startX" the following error occurs BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld:so: dynamic_link.h:57 elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion '! "bad dynamic tag"' failed Tried different configurations using 'xf86config', problem still occurred. Also Tried a second pentium machine with video card S3 ViRGE. The problem still showed. This is a serious bug which I think may relate to other ld.so bugs. This will prevent users from running X and X application.

What does: rpm -V glibc rpm -V XFree86 say? Also, is this a new install or an upgrade, and what does /etc/ld.so.conf say?
*** Bug 6654 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Install 6.1 fresh on HP Vectra XU 5/90. 1 Pentium 90 CPU, 64 MB Ram, 4.3 GB IDE, 16 MB /boot, 3900 MB / and 208 MB swap. Selected everything to install. After installation completed on reboot I get lot of messages: BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic_link.h 57: elf_dynamic info assertion '! "bad dynamic tag" failed. After login in as root tried to run 'ps' command and got the same error (and no output from ps command). BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic_link.h 57: elf_dynamic info assertion '! "bad dynamic tag" failed. Tried different partioning of hard disk but still have same problem. Also applied all available updates (downloaded rpms), but problem persists. ------- Additional Comments From 11/06/99 00:59 ------- 1. I do not have any problem with X programs so I do not think 6654 is duplicate to this. 2. I did ldconfig -n, even then got the same problem with "ps" suggesting it is not a problem related to /etc/ld.so.conf. I think the problem is how "ps" is compiled/linked. ldd wont run on /bin/ps so I did 'string /bin/ps | grep lib' here is what I got: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 libproc.so.2.0.0 libc.so.6 Compiled with: libc %d, internal version %d.%d vm_libpid,tname,majflt,minflt,m_trs,m_drs,m_size,m_swap,rss,m_share,vm _lib,m_dt,args /bin/ls work file so I did same on it an got /lib/ld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6 __libc_start_main Ajay
I also tried on the Pentium Pro 166MHz system with video card: ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II (4MEG). It still exhibits the same problem. I think this is a bug in the dynamic linker, ld.so not in Xfree86, since 3 systems with 3 different videos cards (S3 86C765, S3 ViRGE, ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II) already been tried.

Are there any packages non-standard installed on the system? I can not reporduce this bug here.
