glibc-2.3.2-20030312
I been searching all over the web and usenet archives (google) and FAQs to no avail.
Here the problem, everything confgures ok
Code:
[root@SRLINUX buildglibc]# ../glibc-2.3.2-20030312/configure
--enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --prefix=/usr/local/glibc-2.3.2
.
.
.

--srcdir=../../glibc-2.3.2-20030312/linuxthreads
but when I try to make (or make all or make check or make clean), I get this rather odd error:
Code:
make
make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" CVSOPTS="" -C ../glibc-2.3.2-20030312 objdir=`pwd` all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/glibc-2.3.2-20030312'

make[1]: *** [configure] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/glibc-2.3.2-20030312'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I have all the required untlities as noted in the
INSTALL and
FAQ files.
RH 7.3
(uname -u) Linux SRLINUX 2.4.20-20.7 #1 Mon Aug 18 14:56:30 EDT 2003 i686 unknown
gcc-3.2-20020903 (compiled just before trying to compile glibc)

And one more question. I'm actually upgrading from glibc-2.2.5-44 on this RH 7.3 box, is it safe to just overide the old, or would it be better it have an alternate prefix as I've atmpted to do? I've been working with Linux for a number of years now, and have becoem quite experienced. Upgrading glibc by compiling is something I have not done yet (though I've compiled a great many other things in Linux.)
