Hi everyone,
I've recently upgraded one of my home machines to use Redhat 9 and
although the programs I've tried seem to run OK (except for various
warnings about bad use of the errno variable), it isn't currently possible
to relink any applications.
When you try to relink you get error messages about the missing modules
"__ctype_toupper" and "__ctype_b". These are no longer exported from glibc
(it seems that some work to better support unicode and internationalization
has seen these replaced), although a compatibility set were exported for
Redhat 8.0.
I guess the moral for the moment (assuming a future update to glibc
doesn't fix this, and no one else has found a work around), is to not
upgrade if you want to do any development. Also we should consider a
Redhat 9 re-build for Spring 2003 a probably priority.
Cheers,
Peter.
