error installing glibc on slack

moschi · 10-22-2004, 07:08 PM

i'm installing glibc-2.3.3 on slack, & i do

Code:

configure --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include --enable-add-ons --prefix=/usr

& it works fine, but when i run make, it says that TLS support is required for a number of things, & then it exits, & says

Code:

make[1]: *** [/src/gnu/glibc-build/Versions.v.i] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/gnu/glibc-2.3.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

by typing --enable-add-ons it should enable all add-ons, so i was confused, so i tried a configure with:

Code:

configure --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include --enable-add-ons=tls --prefix=/usr

& it returned

Code:

configure: error: add-on directory "tls" does not exist

any ideas on where to go from here??

thanks,
andrew

Well, it might make it easier for you to just get the updated glibc (slackware tgz) packages from ftp.slackware.com or find a mirror.. my favorite is ftp.kpn.be

Then you can upgrade the package by doing:

upgradepkg glibc-<version>.tgz

glibc is very important, I usually only trust precompiled packages or you can really screw up your whole system. Many things rely on glibc.

i don't know exactly about that version (it's not that new) or exactly what or how you are trying to build
but to use nptl threads and it needs tls i think now you do
--enable-add-ons=nptl --with-tls --with-__thread
