Manual Glibc Updating

cracker_jackmac · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">compiling your own glibcs</div> i'm only posting this here because alot of plugin develpoment gets posted here.

Not all of us are linux savy either, except verbose *bows*

I'm having problems updating my glibc and i figure if i had help debuging the problem, it would help anyone else having the problem as well.
Everyone knows i'm trustworthy and that i can be trusted with closed source, but its agrivating because i can't compile them for the developer (whoever that is) and test it for them.

ok i got those....2.4.20 is what i'm running and i have the src in a symlink /usr/src/linux like i'm suppose to....almost everything else compiles but fails on iconv

Since this thread isn't so popular, and I think that it's a good ?, I'm posting here to bring it up.

Oh, and I have no idea wtf your talking about, plz don't flame me.

don't worry, i didn't follow up on it because i gave up...

/me goes back to installing gentoo

Have fun with that Cracker, took me 6 hours to install on my secondary box (from stage 1). When I get back to my dorm tomorrow I'm going to install it on my primary box, shouldn't take nearly as long, however, seeing as how it's twice as fast.

CJM, I think your binutils need to be updated.

cracker_jackmac · February 2003

got the latest from GNU....still no go...

I totally hosed that system...I'm back on my red hat system (thank god for Removable drives)

TIP: Always have a backup plan <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

I finally decommissioned a server in our datacenter that had been around a long time, unmaintained (no reason to update it). This box was old. Old. Uptime? 590 days. That's pretty cool, but it was only taken down two years ago to move it from one data center to another. Before the move, it had an uptime of over 2 years (900-something days, IIRC). I have a pic from last week when we took it down. Check out the FreeBSD revision number, and the kernel compile date. Wow.

(I'm not fozzee; he's the one who was operating the camera)

Like I said, it was basically unmaintained, running continuously from the last time the kernel was updated. I think it was shut down a total of 3 times: once to replace a failed power supply fan, and twice to physically move the machine.

Box was an original pentium 133, 64 megs of RAM, and a Seagate Medalist disk. Yes, a medalist. Don't see those around much anymore <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
