Did you have libedit-dev installed?

[nerd-qp]

Yes, I have.

libedit-dev is already the newest version (3.1-20150325-1ubuntu2).

thanks!

Actually I can use -ledit on empty main. Maybe compiling using 64bits library with -m32 can be troubling?

[yrp604]

I was able to reproduce and fix your problem by installing libedit-dev:i386 (dpkg --add-architecture i386). Could you try this?

Unfortunately PTRACE_O_EXITKILL requires linux 3.8+, so it doesn't look like rappel will work on 3.2

[nerd-qp]

Many thanks!!! It worked!
