[SOLVED] Multilib issue: error upgrading glibc. System unusable. Slackware64 current

val3xiv · 05-20-2013, 06:21 PM

Hi all.
Slackware64 current installed from scratch. Tried to enable multilib following this http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib

Code:

# SLACKVER=current
# mkdir multilib
# cd multilib
# lftp -c "open http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ ; mirror ${SLACKVER}"
# cd ${SLACKVER}
# upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z

After some succesful upgrade I got this error

then I cannot use my slackware anymore

Code:

# ls
-bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Boot from Slack DVD,use wget to download glibc and glibc-solibs.Then mount your root partition.
Then run installpkg --root /mount_point_of_your_root_partition glibc-*
You should upgrade first glibc-solibs then glibc and again glibc-solibs

No, the problem was me!
I thought I had installed the Slackware64 but there was a mistake and the installed installed one was the Slackware 32 bit.
Now I've installed the right version and multilib works like a charm.
Sorry for bothered anyone with this stupid neglect.
