Re: How to install NPTL?

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

Hi,

I tried the package that you suggested me, and I did these steps:

# mkdir -p home/nptl
# tar xjvf glibc-2.3.2+nptl0.46.tar.bz2
# ln -s glibc-2.3.2+nptl0.46.tar.bz2 glibc
# tar xjvf glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2pre1.tar.bz2 -C glibc
# cd glibc
# mkdir build
# cd build
# ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=nptl --with-tls
# make

and during "make" now I obtain different errors than with the previous 
version of glibc:

My system have:

RedHat 9
kernel 2.5.70-bk17
gcc 3.3
binutils 2.13.90.0.18

and the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build links to /usr/src/linux-2.5.70



Have you an idea??

Thanks!!!
