I think you're SOL. :) There is a full glibc package in the Slackware contrib, but you have to be very careful when installing them - there's a symlink to libc5 (I think it's in /usr/lib) which will get overwritten during the untar process, and this will trash your existing libc, leaving you with an unusable system which you have to rescue with a floppy. And, becuase this occurs half-way through, it doesn't fully install glibc, either. From what I found, removing the symlink seems to solve the problem. But... even after installing glibc, and altering the GCC configs as per the instructions, it still doesn't compile Coda... So I gave up. BrianReceived on 1999-09-02 15:37:53
