libc problem

thrix · 02-01-2004, 07:55 AM

I've got corrupted archive glibc on my slackware instalation CD. When I want to compile a program, a lot of errors comes out (A lot of header files are missing). What's exactly in glibc, could it be, that that's all i need to mak it run? Also i found out, that i haven't got the libc item in info installed. Is that in glibc too. Where is the libc installation, when not in glibc? thanx

glibc is a core library of programs and routines that many other applications call on and link to . That way there only needs to be one copy of an algorithm on memory. If it's corrupted it would probably be best to get a new Slack CD and reinstall. It's too important to try fixing
