What works is generally 'ok', having backups with a reliable way of using them is 'good' [ so, I think I'm still trying to avoid an answer :-) ] > Well, so far it seems to have worked very well.

Maybe the segfault is evidence of a different problem (heat, or hardware beginning to fail). It's always difficult to be specific about what causes the problem. > Also wine is working nicely now, though it does not allow me to install the > win-programme I compiled it for. Well, if it prevents you installing a win program, I think it's probably working _very_ nicely! Your system, so you get to determine the value of 'nicely'. > Do You suggest compiling something else again with the new glibc, or should I > just wait until I encounter some problems? > > Regards, > Lynx I suggest you do the minimum necessary - it if seems to work, you got away with the upgrade, which is great. If you want a _reliable_ system, rebuild _everything_ after upgrading glibc - but if you intended to do that, a full upgrade to current versions of everything (in other words, a fresh install of a new system) would be better. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
