Re: Newbie ->cross compile GTK for ARM - ./configure problems - LDnot finding libc library

[Antonio Gomes <tonikitoo gmail com>]

Hummm ... now I got it ... 

Just to open my mind , when you execute 'ls -la
usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6', what is showed out !?

btw, If i'm not making a mistake, this library is the glibc library,
which is the responsible to provide and perform system calls .

regards
