Anyone else had problems with glibc-2.3.4 in 10.1? When i first upgraded I
had a few problems with programs segfaulting or just not running, but I
managed to fix most of them. One notable one that didn't was apache2 -
apachectl would segfault when attempting to start, but this wasn't so much a
problem as I could just manually httpd -k start and it would work fine (no
idea why an sh script would crash when the underlying binary apparently
works fine?). However, now I come to upgrade php, of course apxs also
segfaults leaving me up shit creak without a poodle. Even recompiling
apache2 with glibc 2.3.4 doesn't work. I've had to go back to 2.3.2 from
10.0 and rebuild apache with that... not quite finished yet, but hoping it
will work.

Any ideas folks? I've had similar problems with other programs with 2.3.3.
In the end I just went back to 2.3.2 and didn't try again till 2.3.4

Use gFTP in Slack 10.1 connect to the Slackware site, then hit up one
directory, then find slackware-current. I have all the updates directly
from slack and have no problems with any of them. Anywhere else and you
may not get what you're looking for. I trust the Slack site more than
any other.

I'm using -current. Up to date as of this morning. However this has been an
issue for a while, I've just been able to ignore it. Still no idea why
though :S

Additionally, apache2 (nor php5 built for apache2) is not available
in -current, however it's perhaps not an issue with either, but something
that's occuring in the system environment which is causing the problem.

Ok, when you did the updates, did you use upgradepkg *.tgz?

Ok, so the server loads on startup? Mine seems to but I have not
configured it

I hope you're talking about apache (in which case if you got it
from -current, you're not running the same daemon as me - you're running
stock slackware apache1, whilst I'm running apache2 compiled from source to
my spec), as if you're talking about you haven't configured your box - I
would assume this means you have an unsecured/unconfigured machine attached
to the net? If so please go configure it, before some silly script kiddie
comes along and gives you a headache.

Incidentally, I'm well aware of how to update packages (it being a rather
basic system administration task after all) - the problem doesn't lie with
updating - the problem would still exist had I updated the files one by one
by hand. I usually prefer to compile my own glibc from source (yes, yes I'm
a compile whore), however this time around (with 2.3.4) I haven't.

Ok, well I am still getting this system up and running, currently I have
finally made it stable. Now to get the underpinnings set. gcc 3.4.3 is
the version I have, seems to work better. GTK+ I did get the latest and
did compile it. These are just A few of the tools I have been getting to
begin understanding this os much better.

glib and gcc, and I think gtk all have intertwined actions. at lest this
is what I have been led to believe. Clarify please. Then I can be better
informed.
