- Hello Linux Fans!
- Working with Linux 0.99p1 is great pleasure!
-
- 1.Upgrading libc.so (How to do really?)
- To maximize functionality I got libc.so.4.2 per ftp. But ...
- Upgrading from libc.so.4.1 to 4.2 isn't that easy. (The numbers apply to the
- actual situation, but I ask for the principal algorithm)
- My binaries (which are from SLS 0.98p1 distribution) look for libc.so.4 (not
- trailing zero!) - so I had made a symbolic link
- libc.so.4 -> libc.so.4.1
- In order to make a new link, I removed the old one and uups ... I could not
- do anything else. Of course! I installed a small system by usage of a1 and
- a2 floppies of the SLS distribution, mounted my normal root-partition,
- installed the new link and rebooted from the normal root.
- My question is: Have I overseen some simpler possibility of procedure?
-
- 2.My second obstacle was the inability of any login using libc.so.4.2,
- because I got messages telling me, that my login-daemon uses old-fashioned
- calls. My search for a newer version ended in the result that only newer
- binaries, but not sources are available (at nic.funet.fi, tsx-11.mit.edu).
- What's the reason for inavailability of sources of available binaries???
-
- Many thanks in advance for your response!
