ELF in RedHat 6.1

[Gorman, John]

Thanks. I will search for the RPM.

(Personally I hate RPM's. I would rather have a tar ball anytime,
this may be my last RH system)

|You need the libelf rpm.  I don't run an RPM based system 
|myself, but my
|Debian x86 and ppc boxes have the ELF manipulation libraries 
|in libelfg0-dev.
|My current version 0.70 and rpmfind shows some older 0.6.4 packages out

|
|/usr/include/elf.h is indeed part of the upstream glibc package but the
|ELF manipulation library is a separate entity.
|
|Hope this helps,
