Hello: Since I have great respect for the opinions and knowledge of the individuals on these lists, I'm humbly asking for your help.
I've got the following problem: Linux 2.4.13 system GCC 2.95.3 In an attempt to upgrade the gcc to 3.0.2 and such I've somehow managed to break it badly...I'm fairly sure its not gcc that broken but rather the libc and glibc stuff thats messed up. I've attempted to restore it but obviously I'm not getting it right. The system is 100% functional if you don't mind I can't compile anything from source...LOL The problem is: I NEED to be able to do this in order to keep current with various packages (bind, apache, etc.). My question: I KNOW there is a way to recover and or reinstall the stuff in /lib /usr/local/lib and also the libc and glibc stuff to get this working. However, being a production box, I can't afford to mess this up and take the box down as I have paying customers that would be quite irritated by this turn of events (VBG). Ideally in this process I can get to the current revs of GCC and glibc, etc which is what started the problem in the first place. What I'm asking is: Is there ANYONE out there that know how to do this and would be willing to do the job FOR PAY in the very near future? REBUILDING THE BOX FROM SCRATCH IS NOT AN OPTION. Though I do do a full tape backup nightly, the time between the attempts and noticing they broke something is beyond the length of tapes I have here... The downtime to reconstruct the system would be prohibitive as well as its highly customized from its base Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 which went in about July of 1999 or so and honestly I don't know that I could recreate the system as it is now from that method. IF you have a better idea I'm all ears. I'm a small business and don't have a large bank account, but am willing to pay a fair price for a job done right. Replies OFF LIST would be appreciated. ===[George R. Kasica]=== +1 262 677 0766 President +1 206 374 6482 FAX Netwrx Consulting Inc.
