| 4 | <para>The programs from a statically linked Fileutils package may cause
|
|---|
| 5 | segmentation faults on certain systems, if your distribution has
|
|---|
| 6 | Glibc-2.2.3 or higher installed. It also seems to happen mostly on machines
|
|---|
| 7 | powered by an AMD CPU, but there is a case or two where an Intel system
|
|---|
| 8 | is affected as well. If your system falls under this category, try the
|
|---|
| 9 | following fix.</para>

| 11 | <para>Note that in some cases using these sed commands will result in
|
|---|
| 12 | problems not being able to compile this package at all, even when your
|
|---|
| 13 | system has an AMD CPU and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's
|
|---|
| 14 | the case, you'll need to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory
|
|---|
| 15 | and unpack it again from the tarball before continuing. We believe this
|
|---|
| 16 | may be the case when your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow,
|
|---|
| 17 | but details are unavailable at the time.</para>

| 19 | <para>To fix this package to compile properly on AMD/Glibc-2.2.3
|

| 20 | machines, run the following commands. Do <emphasis>not</emphasis>
|
|---|
| 21 | attempt this fix if you don't have Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It will more
|
|---|
| 22 | than likely result in all kinds of compile time problems.</para>

|

| 41 | not, then you need to re-do the installation using the sed commands if
|

| 42 | you didn't use them, or without the sed commands if you did use
