I compiled and installed the gcc-3.0 src rpm from the cooker (this took some time due to the LOCALE problem). I installed all generated gcc-3.0.... rpms Then I tried to recompile the glibc-2.2.2 src.rpm (the one from the LM 8.0 release). It worked fine. When I tried to update (--upgrade) it I got a lot of dependency problems (file xxx is owned by glibc-2.2.2). I installed this with --force and nodeps. Everything did fine. No problems. But when I tried to reboot init was not able to execute any script due to problems with some libs. I wasn't even able to boot to single user mode... I had to install LM on seperate partition so that I could reinstall the glibc-rpms from the LM-8.0 CDs. (I use raid for my /usr partition so the rescue system from the CD was pretty much useless). Does anyone know what's the problem. I suppose it has something doto with gcc-3.0 (because i used the glibc source from the official mdk release). I've done this two weeks ago and I didn't try again because it was a real pain and to get my system back.
