Description roy 1999-02-27 17:39:14 UTC

I have a pretty freshly installed RedHat 5.2 machine. Wanted to bring egcs up to 1.1.x, so I grabbed the 1.1.1-7 rpm. The rpm had be upgrade cpp and binutils, both were no problem. Installing the new egcs was smooth, but when I try to run it:

roy@dt0f3n64 (1) % egcs -v
egcs: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info

Is there some shared library that needs upgraded that wasn't
required by the rpm?

Okay, turns out 'nm' was broken too. The binutils .20 from Raw Hide 1.0 didn't want to work on my RH 5.2 box. I removed them, and installed a libc6 contrib RPM of binutils .19. 'nm' and company now work without error, but reinstalling egcs 1.1.1 still gives me:

[root@dt0f3n64 FTP]# egcs -v
egcs: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info

  Maybe this isn't really a bug, just a side effect that I shouldn't be tryign to use any Raw Hide 1.0 RPMs...

Either rebuild egcs from the source rpm, or else you have to upgrage
to glibc-2.1...  You cannot use binary rpms from rawhide without
upgrading glibc, or rebuilding the source

*** Bug 1365 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I installed egcs 1.1.1 by upgrading a regular Linux 5.2
system on a Pentium233. First I uninstalled the old egcs,
egcs-c++, egcs-g77 and egcs-objc installation. Then I
upgraded binutils to 2.9.1.0.19a-2 and installed
cpp-1.1.1.7. Then I installed the new egcs packages (basic,
c++, g77 and objc).

Trying to run any of those compilers results in the
following error message:

[stacey@ferrari ~/test]>cc test.c
cc: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info
[stacey@ferrari ~/test]>


Hints on how to solve this problem are very much
appreciated. Also, does egcs1.1.1-c++ handle namespace and
using correctly?

I also installed libstdc++-2.9.0-7. I didn't have to uninstall
2.8.0-14 though.

If you want to use Raw Hide rpm's on Red Hat 5.2, you *must*
recompile from the src rpm. Raw Hide rpm's use glibc-2.1 which
is not present on Red Hat 5.2.
