Is it possible to update libc on a SuSE Linux 7.3 system without breaking something? I have installed SuSE Linux 7.3 sparc on an UltraSparc I and I have just tried compiling gcc 3.2.2, but it fails with a complaint about libc.so.6 is missing. I assume that a libc update would make this error go away, is that correct?

OK, I was writing this from memory. I have tried again, just now, and it seems that I *do* have the libc.so.6 file, but that it is considered incompatible. The message goes like this: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libc.so.6 when searching for /lib/libc.so.6 .....<THIS LINE IS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES>..... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /lib/libc.so.6 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... What seems to be the problem here? Best regards, David List
