Good afternoon.
I am trying to rebuild a program after upgrading to RHEL WS 3.0 and keep getting “unresolved reference __ctype_b” errors. performed a clean install of RHEL and have not performed any of the updates because the system is isolated from all network connections. The “Knowledge Base” has only one hit that actually has “__ctype_b” in the answer and it explains you can’t compile on RHEL 2.1 and link on 3.0. I understand from googling that this is a problem with glibc. From google I’ve tried adding /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux7/include to my makefile include path and /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux7/lib to the library path. This didn’t work so I added /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux7/lib to ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig also without success. I have installed compat-glibc. Curiously, adding the include and lib directories to the appropriate paths in the Makefile fixed one of the two errors but not the other.
Any ideas as to what I should try next will be gratefully appreciated.
Happy April Fool’s Day
