i am making a project for the university to propose a new generic security for mobiles.

i noticed that readelf command that is supposedly buildin in all linux distros is not working.

anyone can tell how to install this or make it working?

Hm, readelf works for me:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > readelf  -h a.out

What is the problem you're having exactly?

that doesn't look like it is run only the device's XTerm?

The readelf on device may well be a busybox symlink, you might need to compile the full-fat package that provides it, of if the scratchbox binary is arm and has no deps, just copy it over.

Ah, I see, you want to run it on the device and your problem is that it's not preinstalled. You should just need to install the binutils package.
