<para>Your host system should have the following software with the
|
|
minimum versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most
|
|
modern Linux distributions. Also note that many distributions will
|
|
place software headers into separate packages, often in the form of
|
|
<quote><package-name>-devel</quote> or
|
|
<quote><package-name>-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those if
|
|
your distribution provides them.</para>

<para><emphasis role="strong">Linux Kernel-2.6.x</emphasis>
|
|
(having been compiled with GCC-3.0 or greater)</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The reason for the kernel version requirement is that thread-local
|
|
storage support in Binutils will not be built and the Native POSIX
|
|
Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel
|
|
isn't at least a 2.6.x version compiled with a 3.0 or later release of
|
|
GCC.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the host kernel is either 2.6.x, or it was not compiled using
|
|
a GCC-3.0 (or later) compiler, you will have to replace the kernel with
|
|
one adhering to the specifications. There are two methods you can take
|
|
to solve this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a 2.6 kernel
|
|
package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your vendor doesn't offer
|
|
a 2.6 kernel package, or you would prefer not to install it, then you
|
|
can compile a 2.6 kernel yourself. Instructions for compiling the kernel
|
|
and configuring the boot loader (assuming the host uses GRUB) are located
|
|
in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
