- Hi. I posted a message earlier stating how I've been having compatibility
- problems compiling (and running already compiled) programs with
- Linux 0.97p2 available from MCC Interim release at Tsx-11.
-
- It seems the problem was that the GCC 2.2.2d that comes as images
- Comp1 and comp2 are not compatible with the older versions of
- GCC 2.2.2 --> everything that was compiled before using
- the shared libraries must be recompiled. If I'm right so
- far, then all the binaries of programs at ftp sites are
- useless until a newer version is recompiled?
-
- I am guessing that this would be a real pain. Is it
- possible to avoid this problem and make the
- 2 versions more compatible? Would just getting
- the library files from GCC 2.2.2 and writing them
- over the 2.2.2d version solve the problem?
- Most of the problem lies with binaries checking
- for "/lib/libc2.2.2" instead of the "libc.so.2.2"
- which is what is installed in my machine.
-
- Thanks for all the help.
