Did you try finding this file on your system? It may be missing

If missing: May want to reinstall it from source (http://freshmeat.net/projects/libelf/?topic_id=864)

If not missing: May want to check your ldconfig file to make sure it points to the right directory.

Thank you for the prompt reply!

I installed the libelf.so.0 from the link u have given but still the error remains the same.Actually i Installed RPM for Redhat 9 by mistake and i am using Redhat 7.3.

the error says the libelf.so.1 cannot be loaded....

When i say /sbin/ldconfig nothing returns except the next prompt.

If using Fedora XX you are missing "elfutils-libelf" and needed packages.

Solution that worked for me. Download

elfutils-libelf
elfutils
elfutils-libelf-devel
elfutils-libelf(x86-32) or the 64 bit version.

Download the those packages into an accessible dir.


Reboot with your rescue disk. CD to the downloaded dir. Run rpm -iv --force --nodeps --root=/mnt/sysimage "elfutils*rpm.

Notice I uses a wildcard "elfutils*rpm" to specify all rpm packages. --root=/mnt/sysimage is needed to install the packages onto the OS installed on your HD for RedHat Fedora systems. --nodeps means do not search for package dependencies.

That should work. Good luck.
