Re: [discuss] Problem building cross compiler for x86_64

[Manish Katiyar <mkatiyar at gmail dot com>]

Hi,
   yes i am using using Suse Linux Enterprise 9. I have downloaded the
package glibc-devel-2.3.4-23_23.4.x86_64.delta.rpm . Now I need to
just do

rpm -i glibc-devel-2.3.4-23_23.4.x86_64.delta.rpm
and then start building my gcc. Is it correct.? How do I specify where
to install the rpm?. Please correct the steps to be followed after
installing this rpm.

Thanks in advance.
