Description Jason A. Whittle 2000-01-26 21:52:43 UTC
I'm trying to compile this file:
____________________________________________
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	(void) argc;
	(void) argv;

	puts("Hello, world!");
	return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

using this command:
____________________________________________
gcc -g -D_GNU_SOURCE hello.c -o hello
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

returns this:
____________________________________________
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file of directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm using binutils-2.9.1.0.23-6 on rh6.1, and this package verifies without
issue. /usr/bin/ld --version:

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Comment 1 Jason A. Whittle 2000-01-27 18:26:59 UTC
The only file named crt1.o I could find on my system was
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib and this directory wasn't included in
/etc/ld.so.conf, so I added it, then ran ldconfig. As you've probably already
guessed, this broke everything on my system. So, I'm back where I started. Is
there supposed to be anything in ld.so.conf besides /usr/X11R6/lib and
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib? This is the configuration that was given to me by a
clean install of RH6.1.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2000-01-27 23:30:59 UTC
Do you have the glibc-devel package installed?

Comment 3 Cristian Gafton 2000-02-05 03:28:59 UTC
glibc-devel needs to be installed on the system

Comment 4 Jason A. Whittle 2000-02-07 01:26:59 UTC
Boy, do I feel foolish. Forgot that one when I made a clean install to fix
another bug. Thanks, and sorry for wasting your time.
