Hi.

I update the glibc of my RedHat 8 box. The prev. version is 2.2.93 and the current version is 2.3.2. After the updating proccess the gcc began not to work. I update the glibc with rpms. I didn't use source code. When I try to compile some source code gcc gives me the error

/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to __libc_stack_end@GLIBC_2.1'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What is the problem and how can I solve it? Could you please help me? I'll be very happy. Thanx...

"I update the glibc of my RedHat 8 box. The prev. version is 2.2.93 and the current version is 2.3.2. After the updating proccess the gcc began not to work. "

gcc and glibc versions are interdependent. When you update glibc you also have to update gcc to the corresponding version.

what do you mean to the corresponding? I have gcc-3.3.2 what glibc version do I need, or is this to do with rpms?

Can I use any verion of glibc so long as that is used to compile gcc?

gcc-3.3.2 needs glibc 2.3.2 so a glibc/gcc mismatch is not your problem. Probably when you updated glibc you also updated gcc.

Now I am leaning toward the idea that there is a dependency problem between the source that you are trying to compile and your new version of glibc. Do you have any way of finding out what the code that you are compiling depends on?

As an added thought. The error message says that it is looking for /lib/libc.so.6. You can check to see what versions of glibc are installed in /lib with:
find /lib -iname "*libc*"

jailbait, sorry to jump in on the thread and cause confusion(i'm not the original poster). The thread sparked my interest, so I asked a question pertaining to it

I didn't even notice that I was talking to 2 different people.

The problem was two different version of glibc installation.
When I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env. variable with the value '/lib' it worked. I think that there was confusion about the dynamic linking preference. Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH solved the problem. Thanks for your interes...

Getting problem while updating or installing the RPM. Now i am not able to install the RPM, what i i have to do to overcome with this. Please help me.......

Following error i am getting while installing the RPM
[root@testlinix1 RPMS]# rpm
rpm: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/librpm-4.3.so)
rpm: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.3.so)

You cannot upgrade glibc, attempting to do so will definitely break your setup.

I would advise backing up your data, wiping RH8 and installing Fedora Core 3 which will give you the latest glibc packages.
