Sep 29, 2015 at 14:12 comment added Dongyang Chen @BillJohnson I am able to prove your characterization. I show that if there is a non-compact operator from $X$ into $l_{1}$, then $X^{*}$ contains a copy of $c_{0}$.
Sep 29, 2015 at 12:23 comment added Dongyang Chen @BillJohnson Could you give a sketch of the proof of your characterization? I am not sure.
Sep 28, 2015 at 23:33 comment added Dongyang Chen Thanks, Philip. Your counterexample shows that the condition "$X$ contains no copy of $l_{1}$" does not characterize that any operator from $X$ into $l_{1}$ is compact.

Sep 28, 2015 at 22:31 comment added Bill Johnson There is a non compact operator from $X$ into $\ell_1$ iff and only if $\ell_1$ is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of $X$. For that you need one additional comment; namely, that every subspace of $\ell_1$ contains a small complemented subspace that is isomorphic to $\ell_1$.
