Hi Clive, I think it's trying to link to this file, but it is looking in the worng place. Perhaps there is many way to solve this problem. I suggest you some thing like this (it is a trigger ;)) : as root, execute the following commands: >>> 'find / -name libc.so.6' -(to locate this file) 2) if you get success it will return you path to this file. Then, verify if one of the found files is in a "arm-related directory" (like /usr/local/ARM/3.3.2/ARM-linux/lib) ... 3) if so, make a symbolic link from this file to the not found file ( /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6) ... some thing like ln -s path_to_the_found_libc.so.6_in_arm_context/libc.so.6 /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6 gimme a feedback ;) regards On 5/17/05, anbeyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <anbeyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi Antonio, > > Sorry I could have answered this last night - just my mind was too tired :0) > > if I enter 'ls -la /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6' > > I get '/bin/ls: /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6: No such file or directory' > > Which is right - there is no directory of that name - why is it looking > there ? > > Do you think that the linker can;t find one of it's own libraries (a library > it need to run) or is it trying to link to this file. > > Thanks > > Clive > > > On Tuesday 17 May 2005 09:51, you wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Antonio Gomes" <tonikitoo@xxxxxxxxx> > > To: "Clive Chapman" <anbeyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Cc: <gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx> > > Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 12:35 AM > > Subject: Re: Newbie ->cross compile GTK for ARM - ./configure problems - > > LDnot finding libc library > > > > > > Hummm ... now I got it ... > > > > Just to open my mind , when you execute 'ls -la > > usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6', what is showed out !? > > > > btw, If i'm not making a mistake, this library is the glibc library, > > which is the responsible to provide and perform system calls . > > > > regards > > > > On 5/16/05, Clive Chapman <anbeyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hi Antonio > > > > > > I have been looking at the scratchbox solution - It does seem like a > > > really > > > good solution. > > > > > > The only thing is I already have a LINUXdistribution and set of compiler > > > tools for the hardware I'm using.
