    Hello Gurus:
     
    I recently downloaded the pfil 2.1.4 and ipf 4.1.3 tar balls, compiled
    and pkgadd'ed then on to a Sun Ultra 10 box running Solaris 9. I used
    gcc 3.3.2 as my compiler. I also exported both *.pkg files to my mail
    server (SunFire V210, also running Solaris 9). Both seemed to install
    without any problems on both systems (at least it appeared so).
     
    I noticed however, in both cases, there seems to be something wrong with
    the execution of S65ipfboot startup script. As I watched either system
    boot, I get this particular error message:
     
    /etc/rc2.d/S65ipfboot: load of /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf into alternate set
    failed
    Not switching config due to load error
     
    When I attempt to manually start the script I get this displayed on
    screen:
     
    # ./S65ipfboot start
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
    constructing minimal name resolution rules...
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
    ./S65ipfboot: load of /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf into alternate set failed
    Not switching config due to load error.
    ipmon: Cannot findELF
    Killed
     
    I checked pfil to see that it is properly installed or configured.
    I ran this command as root (as described in the pfil readme file):
     
    strconf < /dev/bge
     
    I got to response:
    pfil
    bge
    (which according to the readme is what I should see)
     
    Out of curiosity, I also tried to manually run the ipf binary itself and
    also got a similar error:
    # /usr/sbin/ifp
    ipf: Cannot findELF
    Killed
     
    Is there a link to a library somewhere that needs to be created? Or is
    this a compiler issue, perhaps looking like it created a 64-bit
    executable, when in fact in did not?
     
    I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me.
