Hello, Lawson,
Indeed, I've ommited to tell you some things about the way I've installed
glibc.
I tryed to install glibc on top of a Slackware 3.6 system, which came
equipped with libc5 and egcs. So I've downloaded glibc 2.0.6, and followed
the instructions (compiling, backing up libc5 for compatibility,
installing the new libraries, running ldconfig on the new 'ld.so.conf'
file, and then modifying the 'specs' file for gcc). Well, the first
program that I've compiled in the new configuration was Ok. It runned
without a problem, and ldd confirmed that it was linked with glibc 2.0.6.
But c++ didn't worked on the same program, giving me the same error before
and after modifying the 'specs' file for egcs:
> > /usr/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1/bin/ld: warning: libm.so.5, needed by
> > /usr/lib/libstdc++.so, may conflict with libm.so.6
> > /lib/libm.so.5: warning: erfcl is not implemented and will always fail
> > /lib/libm.so.5: warning: erfl is not implemented and will always fail
> > /lib/libm.so.5: undefined reference to `__getfpucw'
> > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I haven't tryied anything else involving the libraries.... I wonder if I
need to install egcs all over again, the version compiled for glibc. I've
tryied that, but running the new 'c++' gave me seg. faults...
Thanks for any advice,
bogdan
