strip error

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi

I am getting the below error while using strip command.

strip: libelf error.
Request error: no string table
strip: a.out: file not manipulated

Could somebody please let me know what might be the solution??

It is in ksh and solaris 10.

Thanks in advance

What does this give you?

file a.out

a.out is an executable actually.

That was just an example.........

It has given the below out put

ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC32PLUS Version 1, V8+ Required, dynamically linked, stripped

I was trying to determine if the file was something different. a.out is supposed to be an executable image by default.

Notice -- it says "stripped", you cannot strip a file that is already stripped. Some versions of strip complain, other do not. Yours does.

Thanks Jim for trying...

There are other executables which were stripped successfully , Unfortunately I got problem only with one executable. :confused:
