[Jordan Crouse]

Has anyone encountered peculiar happenings with the 2.0.7 glibc and
resolving names via DNS?  It is simply *NOT* going out to the specifiec
nameserver (verified via line sniffer), even though /etc/resolv.conf is
present and correct.  Any lookups with the /etc/hosts file work great,
its just when I try to go out on the network.

Has anyone noticed any strangeness with this????

Please don't use glibc 2.0.7 . A lot of ppl (including me) have found out,
that it doesn't work.

What is the best version to use, and where could I download it?  Is
there a site that is archiving pre-compiled binaries?

Thanks!

Actually, thanks to the hard work of Mike Klar and the boys at SuSE, I
have been able to track down a decently working copy of the libc 2.0.7,
which I have compiled for a VR4122.  In fact, until I hit this DNS
problem, it has been working without a hitch, including pthreads and
some other fairly complicated concepts.

Hello,

I have found 2.0.6 to be ok, and am currently working on 2.2

I think I got 2.0.6 from the gnu site, and used patches from
oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips, but I have them for download.

ftp://download.ichilton.co.uk/pub/ichilton/linux-mips  or
http://download.ichilton.co.uk/linux-mips


You will find them in the toolchains directory under v1 and v2:

v1 = glibc 2.0.6, egcs 1.0.3a, binutils 2.8.1, kernel 2.2.14
v2 = glibc 2.2, gcc 2.97, binutils 2.10.91, kernel 2.4



Also, if all else fails, check the links page...there are loads of
sites with Linux/MIPS stuff on  :)

Thanks!


Bye for Now,

Ian
