Installing GLIBC 2.3.6

Panagiotis_IOA · 02-04-2006, 07:31 AM

I've downloaded the course file, glibc-2.3.6.tar.gz but I'm not sure on how installing it. I tried to do it through Slackware's package manager but "the package isn't tgz type...".

Read and follow the installation instructions?

Slackware's installpkg (or pkgtool) is used to install pre-built packages, whereas the package you downloaded is in source code form and so needs to be built first.

You can d/l the packages from here and install them using installpkg <package-name>

installpkg glibc.tgz

Installing package glibc...
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
Executing install script for glibc...

That's all I receive...

Yeah, that's what usually happens when you use installpkg..

Yes, I mean that the process lasts less than 1sec!
