Hi. A bunch of questions, on the same theme that I don't understand: Yesterday I have built and installed gcc 4.1.2 on my comp, on some aside path (not in /usr/local, not in /usr). However I think I need also new libc ( I have some problems, which cannot be reproduced on other computers, so I decided to try to recompile libc too). I want to do it with the minimum violence, but I also want the newly compiled gcc to link against it as default (both the gcc itself, as application, and the executables that gcc/g++/gfortran produce). If I download and compile gnu libc, and define the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the location of the new libc.so, will it suffice ? If not, should I recompile gcc ? All parts of it ? How did I have to compile gcc from scratch such that it would build a new libc simultaneously ? Additional question: What is the difference between libgcc and libc ? Thanks and regards, Dima.
