Hi World,

I have tried to load the executable. I got the error java.lang.unsupporttedlinkerror:can't load symbol not found

Hi:

The linker is showing you the symbols (code or data) that your object file is referencing and the shared libraries or executables that are, or whould be, loaded to honor them.

This is a garbage java error message. What is the symbol in question?

>I tried the ldd option. I got the below output. what it actually means?

It means you used the wrong command. A proper command would have told you what unsats you have. You currently have none. The listed symbols are all defined in libc.

You mean dynamic loader, not linker. And the symbols with "symbol not found" aren't in any of the dependent shlibs.
