rtems-4.6pre5 building first time WITH Ada

Hi,

That's odd that you have this problem with RH7 [Ed: Chris has pointed out
to me that he has RH7] My previous advice assumed you wouldn't
otherwise need glibc, as there are still quite a few libc5 systems
around.

What does "ldconfig -p" spits out? (wrt libc)

I'm using RH7.1 and when I run  "ls -l /lib/libc[.-]*" I get

-rwxr-xr-x    2 root     root      5737154 Oct 10  2002 /lib/libc-2.2.4.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 Nov 19  2002 /lib/libc.so.6 ->
libc-2.2.4.so

(and then "strings  /lib/libc-2.2.4.so  | grep -i copyright"
shows that this is in fact the (a?) FSF libc.)

I suspect that the symlink shown above isn't on your system,
however "rpm -q -f /lib/libc.so.6 " and "rpm -q -f /lib/libc-2.2.4.so"
both report each file belong to "glibc-2.2.4-3" (which means it
should be there)

So you best bet is probably to re-install  glibc-2.2.4-3 from
whatever source you got it from. "rpm --install --force glibc-2.2.4-3.rpm"

ps - Not to muddy the waters but, I will anyway:

"find /bin -type f -exec ldd {} \; | grep libc"
shows that just about everything (in bin) depends on libc.so.6 (rather
than directly on libc-2.2.4) so unless you have basic utilities from
a different source than I do, it screws up my assumption (again! I've
got to stop assuming..), as nothing would work. In any case I'd try
reloading the rpm. Otherwise,  I'd see if you can discern if the gdb
rpm is looking at the ldconfig cache or a specific fs location to
determine if libc.so.6 is there.

Best,

    -Paul
