I am using Puppy to help learn Linux before buying a new computer on which I will install (I hope) some complete distro on its own partition. I want to learn simple routine tasks, such as installing new software, for example. To do this I picked xzip, a simple, small interpreter for z-machine interactive fiction games.
I couldn't locate a Puppy package for this, so I thought this topic would help me install what I need to be able to compile source code for myself.
Following these instructions, the first two files seemed to work just fine. The glibc file won't work, however. Running sh install/doinst.sh after untarring produces:Get the following slackware packages from:
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackware/ ... ackware/d/
and from:binutils-2.15.92.0.2-i486-2.tgz
gcc-3.3.4-i486-1.tgz
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackware/ ... ackware/l/
Put this in reach of a type 2 hdd install (I have put them on CD-R; so /mnt/cdrom/<tgzfile> for this howto)glibc-2.3.4-i486-1.tgz
boot Puppy Linux from hdd install. Open a terminal (rxvt). You should be in /root.
Save /etc because slackware files will destroy this?! I have not investigated this any further!
So here I will just repair it afterwards...
tar czvf etc.tgz /etc/*
Now install the 3 tgz files from above:
# change working dir to / ; must be in / !!
cd /
tar zxvf <tgzfile>
# important to run the slackware doinst script!
sh install/doinst.sh
# do this for all 3 tgz file
# now restore destroyed /etc files
tar zxvf /root/etc.tgz
--- DONE ---
Error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To whomever all this info may be meaningfull, PLEEZE explain it to me.
Thank you, everyone.
