removing phantom "non-empty" directories

I meant "cat /usr/lib/libc.so" (i.e. posting the file). That may help understanding what in the world is it doing there..

Code:

fileserver://
root:# cat /usr/lib/libc.so
/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a  AS_NEEDED ( /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ) )
fileserver://
root:#

Maybe you should ask another question in "programming" forum: paste the error messages from configure, paste the file contents. I understand what was it intended for, but not how to fix it..

Ignore me, I missed a page before posing.

When was the last time you compiled a program on your machine? the configure script is trying to compile a very simple program.

Have you tried to compile a program by hand outside the configure script, it should fail as well?

Code:

/* test.c */
int main ()
{
  ;
  return 0;
}

compile with: gcc -O2 -march=i586 -mtune=i686 test.c

looks like the same messages appeared with your test program. the last time i compiled a program was probably a month or two ago. i'll try to use gslapt to re-install gcc and libc6 and report back

Code:

fileserver:/~
administrator:$ gcc -O2 -march=i586 -mtune=i686 test.c
test.c:6:2: warning: no newline at end of file
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../libc.so:5: parse error

binutils may also benefit from an upgrade

pepsimachine15 · 04-17-2009, 01:22 PM

re-installed packages gcc, gcc-g++, and glibc with gslapt. it broke something big, because i cannot execute any commands. i.e:

Code:

administrator:$ ls
bin/ls: relocation error: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_out_of_memory, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference
fileserver:/~

this error happens with any command in bash. cannot start new apps with my launcher icons. entire system seems broke.

a google of this message says its a bug, #465753 and a fix for this is to remove /lib/tls/* from a boot disk. i'll try this and see how things go

that all seemed to fix my configure errors, and ntfs-3g compiles correctly. and with the new ntfs-3g i am able to remove the directories. but now samba is broke. i already have a thread started on this, since samba was only half broke before.

thanks,
mike
