Re: Error 127 in install of glibc 2.2.3

[Kate Ahrens]

I have traced the cause of my problems. Now I need some help stopping it
from happening again...

To recap, I was trying to upgrade from 2.1.1 to 2.2.3 - configure works
fine, as does make and then make check.

When I run make install, though, I get this...

.

.
make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/glibc-2.2.3/elf'
/usr/bin/install -c /usr/glibc-objdir/elf/ld.so /lib/ld-2.2.3.so.new

rm? It does an 'rm' on one of the existing library files? Why? Every
document I've read about this upgrade says don't rm files, but replace
symlinks by doing ln -sf instead. Can someone confirm whether this is right,
and what I should do with the Makefile to stop this from happening again?

Thanks.
