glibc install help

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.

Not possible if building from source unless you have a fast system. The
build can take anywhere from two hours to 15+ hours.

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.
