linux-mips@oss.sgi.com:
I tried installing the three packages anyway. binutils and egcs
installed fine. They contain files and directories with "mips-linux",
etc., in their names, so they don't conflict with my native i386
installation:
root@r7320g:~# rpm -ihv binutils-mipsel-linux-2.8.1-2.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################
### [100%]
1:binutils-mipsel-linux ########################################
### [100%]
root@r7320g:~# rpm -ihv egcs-mipsel-linux-1.1.2-4.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################
### [100%]
1:egcs-mipsel-linux ########################################
### [100%]
But glibc has problems:
root@r7320g:~# rpm -ihv glibc-2.0.6-5lm.mipsel.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc < 2.2.5 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.5-34
glibc < 2.1.90 conflicts with db1-1.85-8
glibc < 2.1.90 conflicts with db2-2.4.14-10
glibc < 2.1.90 conflicts with gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-14
Looking at the contents:
root@r7320g:~# rpm -q -l -p glibc-2.0.6-5lm.mipsel.rpm | head
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/rpc
/lib/ld-2.0.6.so
/lib/ld.so.1
/lib/libBrokenLocale-2.0.6.so
/lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1
/lib/libc-2.0.6.so
/lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libcrypt-2.0.6.so
/lib/libcrypt.so.1
It contains files that would break my native i386 installation:
root@r7320g:~# ls -1 /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/rpc /lib/ld*
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/rpc
/lib/ld-2.2.5.so
/lib/ld-linux.so.2
Any comments or suggestions?
