Repair missing symbolic links with Disk Utility
This is not so for me.
I Ran Disk utility after doing a forced prebind and found files needed to be re-linked.
Doing a prebind again (after a logut/reboot), still shows link problems.
....2004-06-11 13:50:08.564 update_prebinding[480] redo_prebinding on /usr/sbin/comapcpowerchute.app/Contents/MacOS/comapcpowerchute:prebinding can't be redone for: /usr/sbin/comapcpowerchute.app/Contents/MacOS/comapcpowerchute (for architecture ppc) because larger updated load commands do not fit (the program must be relinked).... 1529 files successfully prebound, 56 files unsuccessfully prebound. Seems APC Powerchute, Epson Libraries, iSync, iPhoto, iMovie, iCal, and FontAgentPro (Left a volume link to company drive!) are all problematic. BTW, I just typed this in the terminal: sudo update_prebind -root / -force ---
Not the same thing
imageworx, you are confusing two different things. The hint is about symbolic links (do a "man ln" in the terminal). You're talking about programs, that need to be relinked (do a "man ld" in the terminal).

Yes, you are right. I am confused about this. And to WHY I am getting re-link errors and HOW to fix this.
Not the same thing
For filesystems that support links, hard links are simply copies of a file. What you are having problems with has nothing to do with file system links of any kind. The kind of linking you are referring to is static or dynamic object-code linking. These are two totally different things. That is, there is no such concept as a "hard link" in the context of object code linking. In your case, the prebinding process is failing to prebind the dynamic links for a particular executable. The fact that the error message reports the executable needs to be relinked suggests that there is a problem that redo_prebinding cannot resolve. I'm guessing that the APC Powerchute app was compiled and linked for a previous release of OS X, and a recent update has broken something. The Apple Dev pages have all kinds of suggestions on how to minimize this problem in code released for OS X. ---

Thanks. This clears it up a bit more. I'll check the dev papers. |
