I am attempting to build glibc 2.3.2 from source. I am running slack 9.1 (kernel 2.4.22). Before I explain my problem, let me go over what I did, in order to make certain that I did not misunderstand something that the instructions were telling me to do. The instructions I am talking about are at GNU's glibc site (Sorry - can't link directly to it due to my low # of posts here, but it's quite easy to find)

I first downloaded both the glibc and linuxthreads archives. I unzipped them and then moved the linuxthreads directory into the glibc-2.3.2 directory. I created a separate build directory as stated in the instructions. So the structure is now like this:

/home/jrtayloriv/
/home/jrtayloriv/glibcBUILD/ --> build directory
/home/jrtayloriv/glibc-2.3.2/ --> glibc source
/home/jrtayloriv/glibc-2.3.2/linuxthreads/ --> linuxthreads add-on source

I then set /home/jrtayloriv/glibc-2.3.2/ to the variable GLIBCSRCDIR

I then ran the following from /home/jrtayloriv/glibcBUILD/ without any error messages:

$GLIBCSRCDIR/configure --prefix /usr/local/lib/glibc-2.3.2 --enable-add-ons

(is the prefix acceptable? I wasn't so sure about that one, but the configure script ran wihtout any noticable problems)

The 'make' is where I encountered the error. I have pasted the entire output at the bottom of the post. Anyone encountered a similar problem? I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
jrtayloriv
