It sounds possible that your glibc upgrade broke your C compiler - I've
never used a glibc system, so I'm not fully aware of the issues, but I
believe this can be a problem.
Can you test your C compiler by compiling some simple program? eg)
--cut here--
#include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv) {
printf("Hello world\n");
return(0);
}
--cut here--
Put this in a file called 'hello.c'. Try the command:
gcc -o hello hello.c
If this command gives an error message, your C compiler installation is
broken (or I've made a minor typing error, which I suspect someone on this
list will point out). The appropriate solution is to reinstall gcc, I
believe - I'm sure someone will correct me if necessary.
