[pocket-linux] Chapter 3. The dreaded libc.so.6

[Miguel Servin]

Hi Dave, Bart, folks...

I'm using the same computer to build the disks and to test them. :(

So, i'm targeting the same computer i'm building the disks for.

It is a Pentium III so 686.

The contents of /etc/ld.so.conf is:
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/sane
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib

Just wondering.... if ld-linux.so.2 is in charge of finding the
libraries, what would happen if I move tle tls directory away from
/lib when building bash?
This way when needing libc.so.6 It will have to use the one in /lib...
or I am insane?

Thanx.

For further troubleshooting let me ask you if you are booting the diskettes on the same machine that you are building on.  If not, that might be the problem.  If you build on a fast 686 machine and then boot on a 486 it may have trouble with the libraries.  If that is the case you can use libraries from http://www.happy-monkey.net/architect/bin-pkgs/ since these are compiled for a 386.

The libraries on the MAD where compiled for i686 and not for an i386.

Mmmhhh... sounds plausible... but i will have to build bash 2.05a
targetting for an i383 arquitecture to match the libraries on the
image, right?
