-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ThanX Daniel, unfortunately you are not telling me anything new. My question is how could I point iptables to the other libc. Few things are going trough my mind: 1) exporting and mounting trough nfs on the compile-machine and then pointing the compiler to the directory mounted. Question: after I install iptables where is it going to look for the libraries?? I don't think it will find the proper path 2) copying the libraries for ex. in /usr/local/lib Question: On target machine the libs are in /lib ??? would iptables find them under /usr/local/lib (it is in ld.so.conf) 3) What about compiling iptables with no shared libraries as it will be permanently used - are the libc6 -> libc-2.3.1 included in iptables? 4) perhaps the easiest way if possible at all would be to upgrade the target machine Which should I choose and are there any better ideas??? Thanks in advance for taking your time unfortunately I tried to replace libc-2.2.5 on the target machine but it wasn't good idea :-)) I ran into "hella trouble". I was lucky to have a backup of the system and I can just recommend BACKUP EVERYTHING POSSIBLE as often as you can - it safes time . Unfortunately I don't want to restore everything from backup - so I wait for your advises. regards - -- On Tuesday 15 July 2003 23:03, Daniel Chemko wrote: > Cross compiling is not a trivial matter when cross compiling different > systems.
