Help - shared libs lib****.so.4 lib***.so.5

Post by Chris All » Sun, 11 Feb 1996 04:00:00



Can anyone advise me ??

I have recently set up a Linux-FT system - runnung well and v. stable -
installing applications and utilities many will not run as they appear
to be missing lib* files. eg. Mosaic asks for libc.so.4 libm.so.4, I
have libc.so.5 and libm.so.5 , so I need both sets of 'lib' files??
What is the best solution?

thanks

Chris

Yes.  By definition major version number changes in shared libraries
are not backward compalible so if you don't recompile everything you
must keep both.

That's a matter of opinion.

1. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux and /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux

Hi Linuxers,

I just got a new copy of gcc-2.4.5 and source code of the pl11.
After having done the installation of gcc-2.4.5, I realised that
I have an extra directory: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux.
The question is whether I need to keep the old gcc stuff under
the i386-linux.  I really like to clean it up so as to save 5.1
meg disk space (another poor Linux user  ;-( ).

Your answer is very appreciated.  Please send answer directly
to my address or the corresponding interest parties to reduce
the network load.  Thank you in advance.
