you need both glibc-2.2.4.tar.gz and glibc-liinuxthreads-2.2.4.tar.gz .. then do: tar zxvf glibc-2.2.4.tar.gz cd glibc-2.2.4 tar zxvf ../glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.4.tar.gz cd .. mkdir glibc-build cd glibc-2..2.4 cp malloc/Makefile malloc/Makefile.backup sed 's%\$(PERL)%/usr/bin/perl%' malloc/Makefile > tmp~ mv tmp~ malloc/Makefile cp login/Makefile login/Makefile.backup sed 's/root/0/' login/Makefile > tmp~ mv tmp~ login/Makefile cd ../glibc-build unset CFLAGS CXXFLAGS ../glibc-2.2.4/configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-add-ons --libexecdir=/usr/bin cp config.make config.make.backup sed 's/cross-compiling = yes/cross-compiling = no/' config.make > tmp~ mv tmp~ config.make make make install make localedata/install-locales your error message above is stating the configure died. hence, you can't 'make'. and configure died cause you said 'enable-add-ons' but didn't have any add-ons -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: http://linux.nf Admin: http://hunley.homeip.net "I didn't know it was impossible when I did it." _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
