I've been using the Hurd successfully for some time, but I recently installed the latest tarball (March 3 I believe) and am now having problems using GCC. It gives me the following error:
ld: /lib/libc.so.0.2: _del_sysdep_start: invalid version 6 (max 5) /lib/libc.so.0.2: could not read symbols: Bad value If I check my GCC version using "gcc -v" I get: Reading specs from /lib/gcc-lib/i486-gnu/2.7.2.2/specs gcc version 2.7.2.2 I downloaded the gcc_2.91.66-1.2.deb package, but when I attempt to install it using "dpkg -i" I get the following: Preparing to replace gcc 2.91.66-1.2 gcc depends on libc0.2 (>= 2.0); however, libc.0.2 is not configured I get similar messages that cpp (>=2.91.66) is not configured, and binutils (>= 2.9.1) is not configured. It seems by these messages that dpkg thinks the version I'm running is already the newer version. I next tried to install libc0.2_2.1.2-10.deb, but then I get: Preparing to replace libc0.2 2.1.2-10 Version of dpkg with working epoch support not yet configured. Please use dpkg --configure dpkg Ok, fine. So I do that, and I get: dpkg depends on perl5 Package perl-5.005 which provides perl5 is not configured yet dpkg depends on libc0.2 (>= 2.1) Hmmm. Am I getting these problems because I use the tarball install method? I've NEVER been able to get the debian package manager to install anything. If I should wipe the system clean and re-install using the packages, is there a list of which packages should be installed and in which order to get a functional system? I'm a little leary of doing that, since dpkg never works for me, but I'll try it if it will help. Kevin Musick [EMAIL PROTECTED]
