gcc 4.1.2 32-bit compilation problem

gcc 4.1.2 32-bit compilation problem

[Rajkishore Barik]

Hi,

I am running into a 32-bit compilation problem on a 64-bit architecture.
When I compile  c program for 32-bits using gcc i.e., "gcc -m32", it  
says:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or  
directory

The details of machine and gcc are provided below.
$ uname -a
Linux host 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jul 23 03:56:11 EDT 2008  
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)
Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I tried a gcc version of 4.2*, it has the same problem :
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or  
directory
This is because /usr/bin/cc points to gcc.

Can someone help? BTW, I need "gcc -m32" for compiling jikes on x86_64.

Thanks in advance.

This error means you haven't installed the 32 bit libc development
package.  It's not a gcc issue, you need to install the correct package
from your distro.  The name varies from distro to distro, but with
Debian for example it's named something like "libc6-dev-i386".
