Re: Fw: Newbie ->cross compile GTK for ARM - ./configure problems - LDnot finding libc library

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
