[FreeBSD 6.2] libm.so.3 error

[Esky]

Last night cpanel broke down (probably after it ran upcp) and every 5 minute I get a mail saying it is down so I ran /scripts/upcp --force on the prompt and it ends with:

==> Post Install Complete
...Done
Updating Addons.../usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libm.so.3: unsupported file layout

how do I fix libm.so.3? what package do I need to reinstall?

Hi,

First tip: Don't run automatic updates, turn those off from the Update Config.

I've also experienced this same issue. I believe its caused by cPanel trying to update a compat package from ports. Its completely screwing everything on the server.

Thought I had turned it off, but apparantly not......

how did you fix it?

I've reinstalled compat5x and it seems to have fixed it.

Whoops, wrong account.

If you're running FreebSD 64bit, try running this:

cd /usr/ports/misc/compat5x && make deinstall && make reinstall && mv /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg.old && ln -s /usr/local/lib/compat /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg

And then restart cPanel:

/etc/init.d/cpanel4 start

It looks like cPanel is installing the 32bit compat5x port, rather than the 64bit port, which is generally already installed.

Let me know how this goes for you.

million thanx, that fixed it and looks better than the fix cPanel suggested
