代码：
# ldd /usr/bin/whoami
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
你只会看到whoami依赖Libc.so.6和ld-linux.so.2，它没有给出运行whoami所必须的其他库。这里时用strace跟踪whoami时的输出：
代码：
strace -o whoami-strace.txt whoami
open("/lib/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/i686/mmx/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/lib/i686/mmx", 0xbffff190) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/i686/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/lib/i686", 0xbffff190) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/mmx/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/lib/mmx", 0xbffff190) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=2352, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/lib/i686/mmx/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/lib/i686/mmx", 0xbffff190) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/i686/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
你可以发现在不同目录下面查找libnss.so.2的尝试，但是都失败了。如果没有strace这样的工具，很难发现这个错误是由于缺少动态库造成的。现在只需要找到libnss.so.2并把它放回到正确的位置就可以了。
[BOLD]限制strace只跟踪特定的系统调用[/BOLD]
如果你已经知道你要找什么，你可以让strace只跟踪一些类型的系统调用。例如，你需要看看在configure脚本里面执行的程序，你需要监视的系统调用就是execve。让strace只记录execve的调用用这个命令：
代码：
strace -f -o configure-strace.txt -e execve ./configure
部分输出结果为：
代码：
2720 execve("/usr/bin/expr", ["expr", "a", ":", "(a)"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
2725 execve("/bin/basename", ["basename", "./configure"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
2726 execve("/bin/chmod", ["chmod", "+x", "conftest.sh"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
2729 execve("/bin/rm", ["rm", "-f", "conftest.sh"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
2731 execve("/usr/bin/expr", ["expr", "99", "+", "1"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
2736 execve("/bin/ln", ["ln", "-s", "conf2693.file", "conf2693"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
