Hi to all,
I'm running a mixed Debian Woody, with a few backports and libc6 2.3.1-16. Now I would like to upgrade to libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10.
Anything runs fine - until I try to compile a program :

e.g.
____
#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
    printf("Hallo !\n");
}

____

cpp -o hallo hallo.cpp

micha@betageuze:~/prog/test/t2$ ./hallo
bash: ./hallo: Permission denied
micha@betageuze:~/prog/test/t2$ chmod a+x ./hallo
micha@betageuze:~/prog/test/t2$ ./hallo
./hallo: extern: command not found
./hallo: typedef: command not found
./hallo: typedef: command not found
./hallo: typedef: command not found

./hallo: line 972: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
./hallo: line 972: `} __quad_t;'
micha@betageuze:~/prog/test/t2$

?:-(

gcc -o hallo hallo.cpp
/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:92: undefined reference to __libc_csu_fini' ../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:93: undefined reference to __libc_csu_init'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I don't have any idea, what is going wrong.
Maybe I should say, before the upgrade this example program compiled fine.

Thanks for any help..
Micha

cpp is the c preprocessor :-)
to compile a c program use gcc

Quoted 6 lines

installing libc is a very tricky task.
You could make your system unusable if something goes wrong. Did you use optimisation flags when compiling glibc ?
How did you installed glibc ? make install ? wasn't any error when you installed glibc ?

I run Sid here, so offhand I do not know what libc6 is "current" for Woody ... so I can't deduce from what you posted if you did your libc6 upgrade through Debian package management or if it is part of what makes this what you call a "mixed" system.

[remainder deleted]

This part is just a plain mistake --- cpp does not yield executable code; it is just a preprocessor tha outputs source. The errors you got occur because the system is trying to process the text as a seris of shell commands.

You want to use gcc to compile and link C code, as you did later (omitted here). The error from that is probably a header mismatch.

The current version of libc6 for woody is 2.2.5-11.5, mixed system, because I already upgraded libc6 and a few other packages.
However, I had first an woody testing system. Then I upgraded the libc6 from 2.2.4-7 to 2.3.1-16 via aptitude, this was the testing release this time. But everything run fine, beside the fact, using the praeprocessor for compiling a program didn't succeed.. :-)
But the compiler did his job.
Now I did again this upgrade of libc6, also of libc6-dev and linux-kernel-headers using aptitude.
Maybe, I've got the wrong version of gcc (2.95.4-9 now ) ?

It drives me crazy - I upgraded now gcc and g++ and the depending librarys - gcc compiles fine, but the praeprocessor still doesn't make his job at least it seems to me to be the praeprocessor.

Ok, sorry for my confusion.
Everything compiles good so far.
Seems to me that I will have to upgrade all other librarys, which I need for compiling, too.
Thanks for the help

I can only find references to this label in newer C++ libraries, the ones intended for use with gcc 3.2.x and 3.3.x . So I'd suspect a version mismatch involving libstdc++ ... certainly a risk when you do fragmentary upgrading of the sort you do ... especially with gcc and related stuff, where the move from 2.9.5 to the various 3.*.* versions involved major changes, particularly to the C++ components of the compiler suite.

Hard to say for certai, though, since Iyou do not say what versions of any of the rest of this stuff (cpp, libstdc++, the associated -dev package, and a few other odds and ends) you are using. Your best bet, I suspect, is to do a proper apt-get undate/upgrade and let the package-management system wort everything out for you ... if that is a possible solution for you.
