a-ha. so you refuse to talk, do you? well, we haev methods that'll make you sing! first thing - you need to make sure gcc does not link in the system's standard C library. it has a flag named '-nostdlib', which excludes linking of these files. second, you need to tell it to do link the private copy of the standard C library that you've compiled. third, you'll need to link in gcc's 'crt1.o' object file, which contains the code that performs runtime initialization of a C source file. on my (very very old) system, it is found at /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crt1.o, which is actually /usr/lib/crt1.o . after you get this done, run 'ldd' on the resulting binary - see where it points to. if it points to the wrong glibc, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the privave glibc's 'lib' library at the front, and check again with 'ldd'. tweak it until finally ldd points to the right glibc. as for 'ld.so' - you can avoid using it, by compiling with the '-static' flag. don't say "but i need it linked dynamically" - you'll get that solved later, after you solve the static linking issues, first. finally, if you still don't manage to get these things done, and you come here with "i don't want to write what i tried, because i tried many things and it must be a straightforward thing to do" - we'll send ScsiMan after you, and then you'll be bound to talk - you have been warned... do note that last i did such things was several years ago, and i have no intentions of compiling a glibc library here now just because _you_ are too lazy to give the details and to make the experimentation. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
