livefs "shared object ... not found" errors

[aurora72]

Hello,

I 'm trying to use FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201102-powerpc-livefs.iso on my 2005 make Apple Mac mini but when I try to use one of most basic commands such as "ls", it gives

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.9" not found required by "ls"
(sometimes "libc.so.9" becomes libutil.so.9)

error. Those other common Unix commands give error, too:

file -->/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libmagic.so.4" not found required by "file"
uname -->/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.7" not found required by "uname"

However, those commands do work:

cd
gpart
pwd

I have searched the Internet for that kind of errors ("shared object ... not found") and found tens of similar search results, but I could not catch any solutions.

Do you have any solution idea?

Thanks.

Here it says that (http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2313#post23473) the LiveFS / fixit CD comes with a full install of FreeBSD, and you can drop to a real shell, with access to everything that FreeBSD ships with.

So, livefs is supposed to include "ls" doesn't it? But when I boot from livefs and select the fixit option and have a shell, "ls" just doesn't work and give that error I mentioned in my first post.

Whitehorn has a few install images and may be able to help you.

I have joined the freebsd-ppc mailing list and did solve the issue. It was the buggy livefs CD I was using. Someone from the list offered another download link and that version of PPC livefs did work.

Thanks.
