Re: How to install NPTL?

[Riccardo-Maria Bianchi <Riccardo-Maria Bianchi cern ch>]

Thank you for your answers, but my problem is to install not a whatever 
version of NPTL.
In fact I would like to test both the latest releases of NPTL and NGPT.

I tried to install NPTL 0.46 and when I run the "Make" command I obtain 
the following error:

******************* cut *************************

version GLIBC_2.3.3 not defined for libpthread
/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2/build/libBrokenLocale.map is unchanged
/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2/build/libc.map is unchanged
/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2/build/libcrypt.map is unchanged
/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2/build/libm.map is unchanged
/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2/build/libpthread.map is unchanged
make[1]: *** [/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2/build/sysd-versions] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nptl/glibc-2.3.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

****************** cut *************************

My steps were:

# mkdir /home/nptl
# cp glibc-2.3.2.tar.gz /home/nptl/
# tar xzvf glibc-2.3.2.tar.gz
# cp nptl-0.46.tar.bz2  /home/nptl/glibc/
# tar xjvf nptl-0.46.tar.bz2
# mkdir /home/nptl/glibc/build
# cd home/nptl/glibc/build
# ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=nptl 
--enable-kernel=current --with-tls
# make

then...I obtain the make error!

I use:  kernel 2.5.70-bk17
          gcc 3.3
          binutils 2.13.90.0.18
          Red Hat 9

and my /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build links to the /usr/src/linux-2.5.70
          
Someone can suggest me something about this problem?

Thank you very much,

  Riccardo-Maria Bianchi
