I was running FreeBSD8.0-BETA2 amd64 and attempted to upgrade with
current sources as of yesterday (8/6/09). I successfully built world and

world, I got this error:

===> lib/libc (install)

install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 libc_p.a /usr/lib

install: /lib/libc.so.7: chflags: Invalid argument
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/src/lib/libc.
*** Error code 1


And now I can't do anything as every command fails with:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.7" not found

How can I recover from this error?

Thanks,

There are statically-linked versions of essential utilities in
/rescue/. For example, you can use /rescue/mount_nfs to mount an NFS
server with the files you need, then /rescue/cp to copy them to your
system.

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned in my reply to Jakob Lach, I
really have no business running -CURRENT but loaded BETA2 because the
release is expected soon.

So basically I have the rescue tools and the BETA2 cd. Can I just mount
the BETA2 CD, search for libc.so.7, can copy it to /lib? Will that give
me enough to attempt grabbing updated sources and trying again. Or
should I just somehow install world from the BETA2 CD and move
/boot/kernel.old back to /boot/kernel? If so, how?

Thanks,

Drew
