Problem with glibc-2.1.3-0a.src.rpm ?

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

I got the same error when I rebuilt Franz's glibc 2.1.2-7b src rpm.

Here is what I did in an attempt to fix it, and sure enough something here
worked (but I am not sure how or why? yet!).

1. goto /usr/lib/gcc-lib and search downwards and remove all of the old
egcs subdirectories hanging around (just leave the latest gcc ones from
Franz's gcc-2.95.1

2. add a symbolic link
   ln -s 2.95.1 gcc-2.95.1

>From that point on, everything started working again.  The damn configure
script was returning 2.95.1 but not gcc or egcs so it didn't find a match.

I hope this works for you.

Kevin
