| Hi,
I am on a Redhat 7.2 machine. A couple of days back, I rather unwittingly
updated (ie installed a new rpm) the glibc on the 7.2 m/c [originally
glibc-2.2.4-13] to glibc-2.3.2-11.9. But since then, I have been having
problems with getting programs compiled [with gcc 2.96, gcc 3.x ...] during
the link phase, the error is :
undefined reference to `__ctype_b'
My investigation into the matter revealed that glibc-2.3 has done away with
the __ctype_b. Now, the dilemma is that I need to compile gcc again with
the new glibc !! I've got the source of gcc, and I am trying to do a
bootstrap compile of gcc, however, even the first phase compile uses my
earlier gcc, which fails to compile even the bootstrap utilities of gcc :-(
Can anyone alleviate my woes ?
TIA,
