Upgrade your glibc to a recent version. And installing the binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1 to a specific path, may result in problems. I would suggest to compile at the given default location and then move the executables to /usr/bin. U will be able to access them everywhere. Give it a try. -Santosh ----------------------------------- On Tue, 28 Jan 2003 Chien-Lung Wu wrote :
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.
