[daip] AIPS private version task does not work

[Juan-Carlos Algaba-Marcos]

Dear Eric,

The output for ldd seems OK for me:

ldd $LOAD/RMNEW.EXE
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x004b6000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00340000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00321000)

The only "strange" library seems to be linux-gate, but I have done a quick search about
it and seems that this is the way it is supposed to be. Thus, so far it seems to me that
the problem does not arise from the (lack of) libraries.

If it is useful, here is some extra information about the system I am using:

$ uname -r
2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen
$
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 5.5 (Boron)
$
$ rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-headers-2.5-49.el5_5.7.x86_64
compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26.i386
glibc-common-2.5-49.el5_5.7.x86_64
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26.x86_64
glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7.i686
glibc-devel-2.5-49.el5_5.7.i386
compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26.x86_64
glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.5-49.el5_5.7.x86_64

Do you have any idea about where the problem can be?

Thank you very much,

       J. C. Algaba
