- This is a special release of the shared image for the C library 4.2.
- Since 0.98 pl 5 has uncovered a few bugs and changed fd_set, it has
- become necessary to make this partial release. There is only
- libc.so.4.2.Z on tsx-11.mit.edu under pub/linux/GCC.
-
- You will get quite a few harmless warnings but all the previously
- reported problems are gone. Until the full release of the C library
- 4.2 is out and old binaries are recompiled, you have to live with it.
- I am still waiting for the releases of gcc 2.3.2/2.4 and libg++.a 2.3.
-
- To install libc.so.4.2, do
-
- cd /lib
- cp libc.so.4.2 foo
- mv foo libc.so.4.2 # Do this to save some space.
- ln -sf libc.so.4.2 libc.so.4
-
- If you have an early version of libc.so.4.2 installed, this one is
- 1121, you may have to play with it, like
-
- cd /lib
- cp libc.so.4.2 libc.so.4.2.old
- ln -sf libc.so.4.2.old libc.so.4
-
- Note: c++ binaries linked with non-jump table shared library won't
- work with the new shared image as usual.
