My gcc is out of whack, everything else is spiffy. I'm compiling gcc as I type this. Thanks for the help, going good so far. anthony From: "Jeremy C.

I just need the quick and dirty instructions if you have them. Make sure you have gmake>=3.79 and GCC 3.2 or higher. You also need binutils and gettext libraries. Go into extracted glibc source directory extract the glibc-linuxthreads tar ball cd .. make a directory .. mkdir glibc-build cd glibc-build ../glibc-2.*/configure --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads gmake when done .. install to separate directory for testing so you don't kill your system: gmake install install_root=/your/path/to/glibc-installed gmake localedata/install-locales install_root=/your/path/to/glibc-installed When all is tested, copy that (preserving permissions) over / Good luck.
