Re: WHY!!!!!!!!!!!

I've tried this i.e. deleting the _config.h file (or whatever it's
called) and now end up with this error:

CC="gcc" /usr/bin/perl scripts/test-installation.pl /usr/src/glib-build/
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1/bin/ld: no input files
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Execution of gcc failed!
The script has found some problems with your installation!
Please read the FAQ and the README file and check the following:
- Did you change the gcc specs file (neccessary after upgrading from
  Linux libc5)?
- Are there any symbolic links of the form libXXX.so to old libraries?
  Links like libm.so -> libm.so.5 (where libm.so.5 is an old library)
are
wrong,  libm.so should point to the newly installed glibc file - and
there
should be
  only one such link (check e.g. /lib and /usr/lib)
You should restart this script from your build directory after you've
fixed all problems!
Btw. the script doesn't work if you're installing GNU libc not as your
primary library!
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/glibc-2.1.2'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Is glib2 designed specifically to sent people out of their mind ?
