Hi, I am really desperate now. I've been trying to compile programs, while linking them against my own compiled libraries from glibc-2.8, for some time now. I never succeeded. For example the bash 3.2. I've compiled it for hundred times or so. Sometimes I wasn't able to compile it at all, because of the linker. After any successful compilation, the "ldd" command tells me it is linked against the system's (Ubuntu's) libs in /lib/tls/i686/cmov/. Since I am building my own system, I need to have it linked against i586 libraries and I would appreciate having the shared libs in /lib, not anywhere else, which would just confuse me or anyone else. So far I have tried any known way to make the linker to search libs in a given directory - using variables (LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH, maybe other), using variables to call CC (CC="gcc 4.2 -Wl, -R/path"). The compilation is done using make, so I don't call gcc myself. Nevertheless, either the configure script tells me the C compiler cannot create executables, or the compilation (after running make) stops at the very beginning, saying make error: segmentation fault (dunno what this really means). Or, as mentioned before, the successfully compiled program is still linked to libs that I don't want to use. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with latest updates. make 3.81 gcc 4.2.3 Please, I really need help with this. I have no idea what could be wrong. Any help, or just try, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Dominik Taborsky
