When I was checking glibc from 2005-01-30's CVS on i686, I got /export/build/gnu/glibc-nptl/build-i686-linux/iconv/gconv- modules.cache.29517 /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache differ: byte 15, line 1 make[4]: *** [test-iconvconfig] Error 1 [hjl@gnu-10 glibc-nptl]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache glibc-2.3.4-2 I have no problems on RHEL4/x86_64, RHEL3/x86_64 nor RHEL3/ia64.
Here is the glibc bug report http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=776
This is fixed in glibc-2.3.4-2.7. Thanks.
I'm closing this. It's not really a RHEL issue since we don't support you compiling glibc and using it with the system.
I am not sure if I understand what you were trying to say. I did # cvs co libc ... # .../configure # make # make xcheck and got the faulure on RHEL 4. Were you saying I shouldn't build glibc on RHEL4? Do you have a stable Linux distribution you can recommend for working on glibc?
RHEL4 U1 included the fix.
