Install error continues in 2.2.4


Having had no luck in installing 2.2.3 I downloaded 2.2.4 this weekend, and
tried again. Once again the whole configure & make process went fine (except
for the make check problem which we've confirmed is not fatal), but the make
install crashes at the point at which /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is repointed to
ld-2.2.4.so instead of ld-2.1.1.so:

This happens in the make install process for the /elf subdir, if that makes
a difference to anyone...

ln is, of course, present, but the system is making calls to ld-linux.so.2
(which has just been removed) to use it, and therefore crashes.

So... presumably some people must have made the jump from 2.1.1 to 2.2.3 or
2.2.4 - am I the only one to have hit this problem? Might it be something to
do with my existing distribution's configuration - has anyone successfully
installed glibc-2.2.3 or 2.2.4 on a Definite linux system?

What can I try?

Thanks again,

Nick
