Description Denys Vlasenko 2008-08-26 09:11:38 UTC
Trying to configure glibc with just

$src/configure --prefix=/usr

doesn't work, it says:

*** It seems that you're using an old `crypt' add-on.  crypt is now
*** part of glibc and using the old add-on will not work with this
*** release.  Start again with fresh sources and without the old

But the user did NOT specify "crypt" addon, configure picked it up
automatically! This is stupid.

Looks like it was introduced quite some time ago:

The fix is trivial, attaching it.

Comment 2 Ulrich Drepper 2008-09-03 23:01:31 UTC
No, we are not adding work-arounds for user errors.  Just remove those directories.

Comment 3 Denys Vlasenko 2008-09-04 09:32:04 UTC
But those directories come directly from glibc cvs tree, I did not create them. What I am doing wrong?

Comment 4 Ulrich Drepper 2008-09-04 15:57:21 UTC
Remove them or do it as everybody does, use --enable-add-ons=libidn,nptl.
