thanks. this worked, but i discovered that what was actually the
problem was that i had 2 versions of libc.so.6 and the wrong one was
being used. i deleted it, did ldconfig, and it works.

thanks for you help. now i know how to compile binary packages on
other systems.

 Hmmm... I would 'emerge -b glibc' on a spare box and them 'emerge -k glibc' on 
 the target machine. If you don't have a spare machine, you could bootstrap on 
 a chrooted environment then 'emerge -b glibc' and finally, on the target box, 
 'emerge -k glibc.' I could work, or it couldn't, but I'd sure give it a try.

[gentoo-user] please help! [was: glibc 2.3 won't compile]

2003-08-31 Thread downtime null 
i think that i may have overwritten some important shared libraries
when i tried to install kmud. now i'm not able to compile and
reinstall glibc. i've even tried downloading the sources from the gnu
site, and, of course, it won't compile. i get the same error as i do
with emerge.

is there a binary distribution that i can use to repair my glibc
install? i just don't want to have to reinstall my whole system to fix
this. 

does any one have any ideas on how i can fix this without
reinstallation. i also tried running ldconfig and recompiling. same
error.

have i completely broken my system?

 okay. i did kindof a stupid thing. i downloaded the binary version of
 kmud and attempted to install it to /usr/local by copying the in the
 lib, bin and share dirs in the package directory to their respective
 locations in /usr/local. well, i didn't backup any of those
 directories in /usr/local and i didn't use the interactive switch for
 copy.
 
 so, now, xnview (and possibly other programs) won't start and gives
 this error:
 
 xnview: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found
 (required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6)
 xnview: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.1.1' not found (required
 by /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6)
 xnview: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by
 /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6)
 xnview: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found
 (required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6)
 
 so i tried to reinstall glibc, but it gives me this error:
 
 checking size of long double... configure: error: cannot compute
 sizeof (long double), 77
 See `config.log' for more details.
 
 !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 failed.
 !!! Function src_compile, Line 405, Exitcode 1
 !!! (no error message)
 
 
 i don't know why it would fail on something as simple as this. does
 anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it? it worries me
 that glibc isn't compiling. this could lead to a lot of nasty
 problems. any ideas on how to get glibc to compile? or, is there a way
 for me to get a binary version for my system that would be fine with
 Gentoo?
