Subject: glibc-2.1 compiled but crashed my System
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 00:37:15 +0000
Hi!
I just compile the new glibc-2.1 with
./glibc-2.1/configure --prefix/usr --e
make
make check
all without errors. :)
But make install fails on the final perl-script, which should check the install..
And from now most apps fails with the same error and the system won't start anymore.
hmm, don't know the exact output at the moment, but it was like ...
_dl_global_scope has different sizes in hared libryries
_dl_default_scope ->undefined symbol in shared libraries
I compiled the lib with egcs-1.1.1 and glibc-2.0.7pre6 on an i686-pc-linux-gnu -
Linux-2.2.1
Is this a known problem? I searched dejanews an altavista for this, but can't find
anything?
And...Yes I read the README, FAQ, INSTALL..... ;)

I am studying computer science specializing in networking and is about
to do
my final assignment. I was wondering if there was something that needs
to be
done to Linux that would fit the bill.
The assignment is supposed to take 6 months to complete at 3 days
efficient
work pr. week. This includes writing a report. There has got to be a
fair
amount of programming involved, and the focus should be on networking.
I am considering to replace the routing database with a level compressed
tree, but i am afraid there is not enough work in that job.
Got any ideas?
Kind regards

I *once* did the same thing. On my multi-boot system (with 3,
count 'em, three versions of Linux), I was planning to run e2defrag
on my primary root partition, the one with /etc and all the important
stuff. Out of habit, I typed mke2fs /dev/hda5. For a split second,
I wondered why I didn't see the expected curses screen clear. Well,
there were curses to be had (but not from Mr. Dickey) when I realized
what I had done.

....however, because of an ``rm -rf / rite of passage'' incident back
in the ``early days'', a relatively fresh backup saved my bacon. The
awesome power of Unix and the complete trust that it places in the

and the attendent lossage of data -- but one must learn to develop a
mutual respect for a system that places so much respect in *you*.

Possibly, but 'ls -i filename' can also be quite useful.

Use stat(). There is no namei() syscall and AFAIK there never was
one. namei() is internal kernel function, it's not exported to userland. If
ou are hacking on kernel itself - see fs/namei.c and include/linux/fs.h for
details on namei() and friends. If you are dealing with applications - use
stat() (see also lstat(), fstat() and readdir()).

2.28. Why is extracting files via tar so slow?
{AJ} Extracting of tar archives might be quite slow since tar has to look up
userid and groupids and doesn't cache negative results. If you have nis or
nisplus in your /etc/nsswitch.conf for the passwd and/or group database,
each file extractions needs a network connection. There are two possible
solutions:
- do you really need NIS/NIS+ (some Linux distributions add by default
nis/nisplus even if it's not needed)? If not, just remove the entries.
- if you need NIS/NIS+, use the Name Service Cache Daemon nscd that comes
with glibc 2.1.

Well, not quite: StarDivision doesn't control glibc. Microsoft's

If the inode *number* is what you want:
#include <sys/stat.h>
...
struct stat buf;
if (stat("/your/file", &buf) == 0)
printf("inode number is %lu\n", (unsigned long) buf.st_ino);

Hello!
There are same bugs regarding quota support in the kernel nfsd, i wrote about this to
Olaf Kirch, maybe he puts my patches into the source.
But still exist problems, especially if one of our Linux knfsd servers reboots, on the
Solaris and DEC clients (on Linux clients not) the .. in the mounted directory behaves
weird. umounting and mounting helps.
The knfsd writes many log messages i don't know what these mean:
fh_verify: grother/pafka permission failure, acc=1, error=218103808
fh_verify: uprog/sszoke permission failure, acc=1, error=218103808
tcp_close: socket already locked!
__nfs_fhget: inode 288983 busy, i_count=2, i_nlink=1
nfs_free_dentries: found imwheel/cfg.o, d_count=0, hashed=1
nfs_dentry_delete: imwheel/cfg.o: ino=288983, count=2, nlink=1
..., and so on.
I would be thankful if someone gave me hints about how to fix the remaining probelms.

One thing that could cause the breakage is that glibc 2.1 now
is stricter about the internal symbols that can be accessed.
So if a program is using alot of internal glibc functions
they may have to be rewritten.

glibc 2.1 introduced symbol versioning. The @@GLIBC symbols just show
that those RPMs were build against a glibc 2.1 with symbol versioning.

Let's assume that the semantics of bzero have changed between glibc
2.0 and 2.1 (that's just an assumption - it's not true). In that case
glibc 2.1 would have two versions of bzero: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
bzero@@GLIBC_2.0. Your old binaries that have been linked against
glibc 2.0 and don't know of symbol versioning would be linked against
the old interface (bzero@@GLIBC_2.0). But if you would compile a new
program against glibc 2.1, it would be linked against the changed
interface ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
This was implemented with same magic;-) in the linker ld and the
dynamic linker ld.so. For details you might want to read the section
"Version Script" in the ld manual or check the glibc 2.1 implementation.
Andreas
P.S. Here's a part of the glibc 2.1 FAQ:
1.17. What is symbol versioning good for? Do I need it?
{AJ} Symbol versioning solves problems that are related to interface
changes. One version of an interface might have been introduced in a
previous version of the GNU C library but the interface or the semantics of
the function has been changed in the meantime. For binary compatibility
with the old library, a newer library needs to still have the old interface
for old programs. On the other hand, new programs should use the new
interface. Symbol versioning is the solution for this problem. The GNU
libc version 2.1 uses symbol versioning by default if the installed binutils
supports it.
