Chapter 6 Glibc error in configure

Code:

running configure fragment for ../glibc-2.2.5/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux

checking installed Linux kernel header files... 2.0.10 or later

*** On GNU/Linux systems it is normal to compile GNU libc with the

*** `linuxthreads' add-on.  Without that, the library will be

*** incompatible with normal GNU/Linux systems.

*** If you really mean to not use this add-on, run configure again

*** using the extra parameter `--disable-sanity-checks'.

I have no name!:/usr/src/sources/glibc-build#

I am guessing that it's actually referring to me installing the kernel wrong, but I followed the directions exactly in both. Just to make sure again, I highlighted and pasted them, same error message.

Any ideas?

Thanks

you need to unpack the linuxthreads package inside the glibc-2.2.5 directory

seems you forgot to do it, or unpacked it in the wrong location.

Thank you very much, I must have clicked through the page too fast ;)

Thanks Gerard.

Gah!
This one had me foxed for a while too. I started fiddling with the compile switches before I noticed it couldn't see linuxthreads. *Note to self - must look here sooner*:rolleyes:.

Cheers.

i had the same problem as masterc so i unpacked linux threads in the glibc directory
when i run the configure script
i now get

configuring in linuxthreads
running /bin/sh ../../glibc-2.3.1/linuxthreads/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile --enable-add-ons --libexecdir=/usr/bin --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=../../glibc-2.3.1/linuxthreads

i assume its done this part of compiling is done correctly now so i type make and get

make[1]: *** [/usr/src/glibc-build/sysd-dirs] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/glibc-2.3.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

im following the lfs book and dont no what to do to get glibc to complie correctly
can anyone help

Welcome to LQ :)

Can you post up more of the error message, like maybe the last 10 lines or so?

Cool

this is what it says when i try to make it
ive got a feeling that it might be to do with my version of gcc
as when i was staticaly compiling gcc earler in the chapter i used version 3.3
