I was once again trying to install a compiler onto my SGI Indy computer running Irix version 6.5, and this time, I found a file that has all of the libraries I thought I would have needed. When I compiled, I get an error that says

cc1: rld: Fatal Error: Cannot Successfully map soname 'libmpc.so.4' under any of the filenames /opt/local/gcc473/lib/libmpc.so.4:/usr/lib32/libmpcso.4

It says some more directories, which I will show in this photo: enter image description here

I installed the compiler that was pre-installed from here

I also had install it to another drive that did not have the Irix OS installed on it so I would have enough space, so there are no /usr or /etc directories inside.

Thanks for your assistance, -rjhwinner03

  • I have to go to bed, but I will improve the image quality tomorrow. –  Nov 05 '18 at 02:58
  • This question is on-topic on [retrocomputing.se], but I think it'd do better on [unix.se] because it's a problem that isn't specific to Irix (at least, I don't think it is). You'll have to join that community before you can post comments or edit the question. I recommend reading the [tour], too. – wizzwizz4 Nov 05 '18 at 18:10
  • I am rather new to using Unix machines, so I may be in quite the pickle – rjhwinner03 Nov 05 '18 at 18:35
  • That looks like a pretty standard "missing library" error to me, but I don't know enough to place it. – wizzwizz4 Nov 05 '18 at 18:37
  • Well, you may be right, because the library is not included in any of the file folders that it is talking about, so I may just move the files into all of the folders that it mentions. – rjhwinner03 Nov 05 '18 at 18:40
  • That's probably not The Correct Solution but it'll probably work. Let me know if it does so I can post it as an answer! (Unless you want to post it as an answer.) – wizzwizz4 Nov 05 '18 at 18:41

you said "installing compiler" which i assume you are not building it from source. my recommendation would be to build from source:

download gcc source tarball from a gnu.gcc.org mirror site. You will download something like gcc-4.9.4.tar.gz or gcc-4.9.4.tar.bz2. Get all the versions you need...

Important: if for example your IRIX 6.5 has gcc-3.2.3, then get and start with gcc-3.4.6 which is the last version of gcc-3. And once built then use that to build the last gcc-4.x.x version; then use that to build the last version of gcc-5.x.x and so on.

The big 3 dependencies GCC uses is

build gmp first since everything else is dependent on that, then build mpfr-3.1.6; then mpc-1.0.3 which is the one you are missing. Don' get mpfr-4.x you won't need it on IRIX, it's too new and will likely give you problems.

for any, do ./configure --help to see a list of build options, prior to doing

  • ./configure
  • ./make
  • ./make check
  • ./make install

example:

tar -xf gmp-6.1.2.tar.bz2
cd gmp-6.1.2/
./configure --help
./configure --prefix=/opt/gmp-6.1.2
./make
./make check
./make install

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gmp-6.1.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
tar -xf mpfr-3.1.6.tar.gz 
cd mpfr-3.1.6/
./configure --help
./configure --prefix=/opt/mpfr-3.1.6 --with-gmp=/opt/gmp-6.1.2
./make
./make check
./make install

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mpfr-3.1.6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
tar -xf mpc-1.1.0.tar.gz
cd mpc-1.1.0/
./configure --help
./configure --prefix=/opt/mpc-1.1.0 --with-gmp=/opt/gmp-6.1.2 --with-mpfr=/opt/mpfr-3.1.6
./make
./make check
./make install

for each gcc-#.x.x do the same process, using

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gmp-6.1.2/lib:/opt/mpfr-3.1.2/lib:/opt/mpc-1.1.0/lib

./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-#.x.x --with-gmp=/opt/gmp-6.1.2 --with-mpfr=/opt/mpfr-3.1.6 --with-mpc=/opt/mpc-1.1.0
./make
./make check
./make install

then be sure to set

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc-#.x.x/lib64:/opt/gcc-#.x.x/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/opt/gcc-#.x.x/bin:$PATH

before building the next version of gcc.

https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html or https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html then choose closest then look under releases for the gcc tarball.

mpc might be more linux than irix, which is why you don't have it.

  • I got the files from that website that is posted in the original question. Don't let my profile picture fool you, because I do not really know Unix... – rjhwinner03 Nov 06 '18 at 03:32
  • This is very long and complicated, do you know how I could install the MIPSpro compiler from ftp.irix.cc? – rjhwinner03 Nov 06 '18 at 03:36

    maybe... developmentlibraries.tar.gz; my IRIX memory is not that great other than I remember disposing of octanes; the mipspro compiler was SGI's version of the C/C++ compiler of that era. Like any, it has dependencies and you need to need to have those dependencies installed in order to install subsequent software packages that rely on them. – ron Nov 06 '18 at 16:23
  • there used to be a freeware sgi website that had a lot of dependency packages like what you may need, but that was for than 5 years ago when I messed with or needed to remotely care about anything IRIX, sorry. But i remember many issues like this when needing some software package running in to many dependency problems, and from experience/memory if you are not running irix 6.5.28 or 6.5.30 then you likely need to update to that. Then you need the mpc library which provides libmpc.so. *The libmp.so.4 may then be another issue, as opposed to libmpc.so.1 for example. – ron Nov 06 '18 at 16:30
  • look for mpc in foundation1.tar.gz, foundation2.tar.gz, or developmentlibraries.tar.gz. – ron Nov 06 '18 at 16:37
  • Already used foundation 1 and 2, but I will try developmentlibraries – rjhwinner03 Nov 07 '18 at 17:39
  • I used the DINA netboot appliance with pre-added discs. These included Foundation1, Foundation2, and the rest of the disks needed to get a basic installation, which does not include any demos or MIPSpro, or pretty much anything else except a cool installation. – rjhwinner03 Nov 07 '18 at 17:52
