libgcc_s.so.1 problem

[Gremmie]

I just got a Fedora Core 6 AMD64 dedicated server, and I have no clue what I'm doing.

I have downloaded the linux teamspeak server from goteamspeak.com. When I try to run it I get this:

$ ./server_linux
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
Aborted

I'm totally guessing here, but is this because it wants the 32-bit version of libgcc? I believe I have the 64 bit version of that library:

]$ locate libgcc
/lib64/libgcc_s-4.0.0-20050520.so.1
/lib64/libgcc_s-4.1.2-20070626.so.1
/lib64/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/libgcc.a
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/libgcc_eh.a
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32/libgcc.a
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32/libgcc_eh.a
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32/libgcc_s.so
/usr/sbin/libgcc_post_upgrade
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.0.0
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.1.2
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.0.0/COPYING.LIB
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.1.2/COPYING.LIB

Thanks.

Is it as simple as obtaining an older rpm and doing something like:

rpm -i --replacepkgs libgcc-3.4.4-2.fc3.i386.rpm

?

Or do I need to build it from source? And if I do --replacepkgs will it really replace my 64-bit version or just allow the install of the 32-bit side by side?

You may be right about this program looking for the 32bit version, but perhaps it's not looking in the expected place. Of course, with Fedora 6, there isn't support for it anymore but I'm sure you can find it with RPMPbone. However, I'm running Fedora8 32bit and here's what my search reveals:

[bob1@localhost ~]$ locate libgcc
/home/bob1/google-earth/libgcc_s.so.1
/lib/libgcc_s-4.1.2-20070925.so.1
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libgcc.a
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libgcc_eh.a
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libgcc_s.so
/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/libgcc3_uno.so
/usr/sbin/libgcc_post_upgrade
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.1.2
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.1.2/COPYING.LIB

So, maybe by creating the appropriate directories and then copying over the lib to the expected place, you can bypass the problem.

[Gremmie]

Yeah, I've tried:

ln -s /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

But no go.

[bob]

Well, you can still grab the Fedora6 32bit version through http://rpm.pbone.net/ I'd dump the symlink and then go with the 'rpm -ivh install *.rpm'. Can't hurt, might be the trick.

[Gremmie]

Bob, thanks for taking the time to help a noob out. I obtained the last rpm for Fedora 6 from rpm.pbone.net, then did:

rpm -ivh libgcc-4.1.2-13.fc6.i386.rpm

And voila it installed it into /lib. And now my app is running! Thanks so much!

[bob]

Great! And pat yourself on the back, you're the one who figured out the real underlying problem.
