Error "ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so is not an ELF file"

[hp79]

Hi, I have a B01 pink pogoplug, and have samba, minidlna, and httpd setup.
I was following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP#PHP LAMP setup instructions, and I'm stuck on setting up php part.

Whenever I try to install php by doing:

pacman -S php php-apache mysql

I get an error message at the end saying:

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.7.8 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

I also get this message when I remove these packages using:

pacman -R php php-apache mysql

Because of this, I can't get finish setting up the php and mysql part. Apache http web server works fine.


Ignoring all this, when I try to proceed with the instruction, I get stopped where I restart the httpd service:

rc.d restart httpd

Then it gives me:

:: Restarting Apache Web Server [BUSY]
httpd: Syntax error on line 117 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: invalid ELF header
[FAIL]

I installed Archlinux using the script that was provided for the Onyx pogoplug, and did all updates.
What could be wrong?

I also tried to reinstall glibc, and this is the message I get.

I see that in http://www.archlinux.org/news/minimum-kernel-requirement-2632/, there's a post about glibc 2.15-5 requires kernel 2.6.32, and my kernel is 2.6.31.6_SMP_820. Does this mean this is the root of all the problem?
If so, which version should I install, and how can I install the older version of glibc?


Thanks for reading my long post!

Do pacman -Syu, then install again.

Do pacman -Syu, then install again.

I already did all that.. It seems there's nothing else to update.

[root@pogoplug ~]# pacman -Syu

EDIT on 3/15/2012:
I reinstalled ArchLinuxARM-oxnas-latest.tar.gz to a clean usb flash drive, and re-did everything. Now there are no errors such as any of the above. Then I copied the whole partition to my usb hdd's first partition which is also 16GB using gparted live cd image inside VMWare. Everything is working fine now.
