Question

I’m trying to install glibc to debug a C-framework I’m working on. But, I’m getting an error in the build process. Here’s the error msg:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/glibc-source/glibc-2.14/elf'
/usr/bin/install -c /root/glibc-2.14-build/elf/ld.so /usr/local/myglibc/lib/ld-2.14.so.new
mv -f /usr/local/myglibc/lib/ld-2.14.so.new /usr/local/myglibc/lib/ld-2.14.so

make[1]: *** [elf/subdir_install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/glibc-source/glibc-2.14'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Is this a known problem?
I had built glibc on the same machine earlier last week without any errors. I’m rebuilding it because glibc is compiled with optimization level 2(-O2) by default and I’m unable to look into the values of a few variables inside the library functions from the code dump as they’ve been optimized out. I’m currently trying to compile with optimization level 1.

Thanks

It looks like you are trying to make install, without first doing a successful make all.
