Hi, I am trying to install a mips-linux cross compiler on my linux box with target=mips-linux host=i686-linux I download the rpm files binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1-i386.rpm egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-2.i386.rpm glibc-2.1.95.1.mips.rpm from ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips When I use rpm comand to install binutils and egcs, they work fine. rpm -i binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1-i386.rpm rpm -i egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-2.i386.rpm However, as I intsall the glibc with the rpm command: rpm -i glibc-2.1.95.1.mips.rpm I got a confliction with glibc-common-2.2.4-13, since my native glibc is 2.2.4-13. Thus I cannot install glibc. Can anybody show me how to install the cross-compiler correctly? (what is the correct rpm command?) More questions: If I have native glibc, can I install another glibc for cross-compiler? Can I install the binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1 to a specific path? How? ( when I install them with rpm -i command, the executable files will go to /usr/bin as default. Can I change that?) Thanks for your help. Chien-Lung
