As I mentioned before, *never* start ldso in your Genode config file. All <start> tags are programs that will be launched by Genode, if during this process a binary is encountered that is linked against shared libraries, Genode will *automatically* invoke ldso in order to load the program and the needed shared libs.

To give you a small example (please run make run/ldso from your Genode build directory). This will build an application called 'test-ldso'.

If you run 'objdump -p test-ldso you will see:

bin/test-ldso: file format elf32-i386

The 'NEEDED' shows you that test-ldso depends on libc.lib.so, lbm.lib.so, and test-ldso.lib.so. In order to start the application in Genode a config file would look like this:

<config> <parent-provides> <service name="ROM"/> <service name="LOG"/> </parent-provides> <default-route> <any-service> <parent/> </any-service> </default-route> <start name="test-ldso"> <resource name="RAM" quantum="1M"/> </start> </config>

You only need to start 'test-ldso', but the boot loader file would look like this:

title Genode on L4ka::Pistachio kernel /pistachio/kickstart module /pistachio/x86-kernel module /pistachio/sigma0 module /genode/core module /genode/config module /genode/init module /genode/ldso module /genode/test-ldso module /genode/test-ldso.lib.so module /genode/libc.lib.so module /genode/libm.lib.so

Here you load the shared libaries and ldso so Genode can find them when starting test-ldso. You can find the whole example under <GENODE_BUILDDIR>/var/run/ldso.

So, assuming that 'sharedlib' is a program and *not* a library:

Remove this part from your config file:

<start name="ldso"> <resource name="RAM" quantum="32M"/> </start>

If 'sharedlib' is a library remove this start tag a well and substitute it with the actual program using the library.

Remove:

<memsection name="ldso" file="ldso" direct="true" />

This looks like it was taken from an elfweaver config file which is OKL4 specific and has nothing to do with Genode configuration altogether.

Good luck,
