This error means the program tried to look up some name information for

I've already set like you showed.
But, not for /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf .

Configuring nsswitch.conf in linux emulation environment,
the program worked properly. I did't know I had to set
/compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf for linux binary compatibility.

That's interesting. Was there a /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf before?
I think that if it's not there, the linux emulation layer should take
the system's /etc/nsswitch.conf as default. But I might be wrong(TM).


Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant.

# cd /compat/linux/etc
# mv nsswitch.conf nsswitch.conf.dummy

And I ran the sample program, the linux binary resuled success.
The linux emulator seems to take the /etc/nsswitch.conf.

However, it is true that /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf had already
existed when I was going to edit.
