Hi there everyone. I'm on a distribution called Core Linux (https://sourceforge.net/projects/coredistro/), and I'm having trouble installing glibc 2.3.4. So I ftp'd it, extracted it to a folder in the top of the hard drive, then I added in linuxthreads. Now I have configured it, but when I try to make it, it stops with an error looking like this:

If anyone can help me on this, that would be great.

Well, I'm past that error, but now when I try make bootstrap on gcc, I get this:

This seems to occur when make bootstrap is going through the gmp/mpn directory that I put in gcc, since I couldn't install gmp sepeartely. (It didn't seem to work.)

Which version of gcc ? ?
And which Linux is used for the build ?
Like "Debian 5 Lenny" etc. etc.

And you probably mean gmp / mpfr

I'm trying to install the latest version of gcc.

Like I said at the top, the distro is Core Linux.

Well, I don't think gmp and mpfr are supposed to be in each other's directories, and gcc stops once it gets to gmp.

OK, is just so, the things you are doing may look confusing
and contradictory.
Unusual to build a glibc(-2.3.4) unless it's for another OS.?
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/res....html#building
"Building glibc is quite tricky and has a number of pitfalls....
Never install over a live system. ..."

In matter of fact, you already have glibc-2.5 .
'ls /lib/libc-2.5.so' and 'ls /pkg/glibc-2.5-44.pkg'
Repacing with 2.3.4 will usually trash the OS.

And gcc-4.4.2 cannot be build with glibc-2.3.4 .
( 2.5 could be usable ?, at least works with gcc-4.4.0 )
grep -n glibc gcc.spec (see link below for source, 4.4.2)
72:BuildRequires: glibc-static
85:# Make sure glibc supports stack protector
86:# Make sure glibc supports DT_GNU_HASH
90:# Make sure glibc supports TFmode long double

' ls /lib/libbfd* ' and ' ls /lib/libopcode* '
will show the version of binutils : 2.17
At least two options in gcc-4.4.2 require binutils 2.19.51.0.14
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...7.fc12.src.rpm
> > gcc-4.4.2-7.fc12.src.rpm : source code + patches.
From the file gcc.spec :
# Need binutils which support --hash-style=gnu >= 2.17.50.0.2-7
# Need binutils which support mffgpr and mftgpr >= 2.17.50.0.2-8
# Need binutils which support --build-id >= 2.17.50.0.17-3
# Need binutils which support %gnu_unique_object >= 2.19.51.0.14
# Need binutils which support .cfi_sections >= 2.19.51.0.14-33

Your binutils may be 2.17.50 ..and they shortened the name :
e.g. libbbfd-2.17.50.0.6-6.el5.so : is how it looks in EL 5.
.....
The gcc people recommends the LFS build metod for gcc ...
.. Only the development version has gcc-4.4.2 included :
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ent/part3.html
gcc pass 1
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...gcc-pass1.html
gcc pass 2
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...gcc-pass2.html
gcc install ( where gmp and mpfr just before that got installed.)
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ter06/gcc.html

You will need a build directory outside gcc-4.4.2/ .
And there is no "gmp/mpfr directory".
There must be : gmp/ and mpfr/ directories inside gcc-4.4.2/
Please show the complete configure line, if further problems.

Interesting, alright. I'll wipe and repeat, this time with the LFS method. Thank you very much.
