Huge problem: Slackware 8.1, the file 'crt1.o' is totally missing

fern · 07-09-2002, 06:59 PM

The file "crt1.o" is not installed by Slackware 8.1.

I downloaded the latest 8.1 ISO, performed a full install, and this file is missing.

I re-downloaded another 8.1 ISO image from a different mirror, performed a full install, and this file is missing.

Without crt1.o, it is impossible to compile and build any executables.

I am completely flabergasted as to how it is possible that nobody else on the planet Earth has noticed this humongous problem.

Hoping third times a charm

You need to braoden your search pattern:

Linux Admin mailing list:
http://www.linux.org/docs/lists.html

And searching and posting to google groups, there is
one devotes to Slackware as well as general Linux.

Linux groups can be found here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...=comp.os.linux

Slackware group is here:

Code:

root@slack81:~# find / -name 'crt1.o' -print

Nada.

Next guestion, in which disk set would you expect to find it?

fern · 07-09-2002, 07:30 PM

I'm not sure, but my best guess would be D--the Development disk set.

/edit: But, I would definately expect, in a default "full" install, that this would be included.

Close but no cigar (wait are you old enought to smoke).
As Aussie stated in this posting of your it is part of glibc :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ghlight=crt1.o

Now the guestion how do you find which disk set glibc and "crt1.o" is part

On you ISO CD located the file : FILE_LIST

grep glibc FILE_LIST

Then download the disk set listed. Or if that still to tough for you, post the output from grep and I'll tell you which disk set.

I do have glibc installed. Like I said, I chose a "full" install.

Work with me OK, Do the command exactly as given OK.
The file belongs in glibc, OK. If it isn't there is isn't there OK.
If it isn't there then you need to downlaod the "disk set"
that glbic is part of OK.

Trust me I wouldn't give you these instruction if I didn't already know the answer.

But I am expecting you to put a little effort in to it, I not
going to "spoon feed" the answers

Now get to it

Hi pickledbeans,

I appreciate your help, but not your condescension.

I've got a guestion for YOU to ask YOURSELF.
What does the fact that I had to ask you to three (3) times
to perform the same set of instructions, before you did it, say about you as a person and a perspective employee?

So that being said, where are you, what have you done?

pickledbeans · 07-10-2002, 10:35 PM

And I would like to read these two (2) thread and tell me what you think?

pickledbeans, you really are a first rate jerk. Thanks a lot for your help, I figured out the rest of it on my own.

Although, it's amazing to me that a default "full" install would not include glibc...

Oh, and by the way, that would be "prospective employee", not "perspective". Cheers.
