ld: Can't create output file (Text file busy) ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...] *** Error code 1 Stop. How does ld knows that a target file is busy ? This is a nice feature. Is there something in the system that keeps the information ? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------- Jit Keong Tan | Internet: jit@slic.cellbio.duke.edu (919) 684-8098 | Bitnet: tan00001@dukemc -------------------------------------------------------- Duke University Medical Center Dept.

'ld' creat()'s the new text file. One of the possible errors is errno 26 -- ETXTBSY. The reason for this limitation is that some versions of UNIX (reg.tm-USL) operating system page or swap directly from the executable. Therefore, modification of the executable must be prevented.
