Hello:

I'm trying to install gcc 4.7.1 from Debian for ia64 arch. I have
downloaded all packages and dependencies plus eglibc 2.13 because gcc
4.7.1 requires a version >= 2.11 and the RedHat 3.0 installed in the
machine provides an older one. When I extract the files from *.deb
packages I obtain a classical directory tree:

etc/
lib/
sbin/
usr/
var/

and inside usr/:

bin/
include/
lib/
sbin/
share/

So now I need to add the correct data to paths environments. For PATH
I have no doubts, the path is usr/bin. But I have doubts about
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Should I add lib/, in which is stores libc.so,
libm.so, etc? I think yes, but I don't know if this new libc can
produce conflicts with the libc of the system. In lib/ exists another
directory called ia64-linux-gnu/ Should this folder be explicitly
added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I've tried to manually set for the current
session the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to lib/ folder and when I try to execute
gcc 4.7.1 I obtain the error:

../usr/bin/gcc-4.7: relocation error:
workdir/software/gcc-4.7.1/lib/libc.so.6.1: symbol _rtld_global_ro,
version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux-ia64.so.2 with link
time reference

I don't know exactly the message, but ld-linux-ia64.so.2 is in lib/
and lib/ia64-linux-gnu/
I obtain this error if I try to use any other system utility, as ls
command, for example, so I think conflicts between the new libc and
the system one

In the usr/lib/ folder exists too some libraries and directories.
Shoud I add only usr/lib/ to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the subfolders
too?

And what about usr/include/ folder? Should I add it to some
environment variable?

Thanks
