- you are right that there is an inconsistency. in fact, there even was
- one in the old TeX archives, namely my xdvi and mf use 2.1 X libs
- (from Orest's `official' xfree86-1.1' distribution).
- you do not have to update to gcc2.3.3 yourself, but you do have to
- get the 4.2 shared libs.
- /pub/linux/GCC/image-4.2.TZ includes HJ's libs for both use and compiling
-
- (/pub/linux/packages/TeX/libc42.taz has just the /lib/libc.so.4.2)
-
- see in the GCC dir for readme, etc on updating one's libc.so.4
- (basically:
- make a Linux boot floppy for safety (i use HJ's bootdisk)
- unpack libc.so.4.2 to some safe place
- cp libc.so.4.2 /lib/libc.so.4.2n
- ln -sf /lib/libc.so.4.2n /lib/libc.so.4
-
- keep any old libs until you are SURE they arent needed
-
- the /pub/linux/GCC dir has 4.2 updates of misc files..i forget what,
- if any of the SLS 4.1lib binaries break with 4.2 libs)
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- with msdos, etc., one pays for updates. In Linux, one pays if one
- doesn't update.
