hello, im trying to debug a program I wrote but the gdb tells me an error :
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-istall glibc-2.9-2.i686
when im trying to use that command, it gaves me an error because my fedora is disconnected from the internet.
however, I have glibc-2.9-2.i686 in my fedora's cd.
how can I use debuginfo-install with my local file ?
or there is another solution ?
thanks!
I think you can call debuginfo-install with the --enablerepo option, so you can use your fedora cd as the repository for installation.
First, unless you want to debug glibc itself, you don't actually need the debug info packages for glibc, and installing them is unlikely to help you.
Second, glibc-2.9-2.i686 which you have on the Fedora CD is already installed: no Linux system can function without it.
Lastly, you can download appropriate debuginfo package from here, burn the RPM to a CD and bringing it over to your Fedora box. It's also possible that you already have the glibc-debuginfo RPM in i386/debug/ on your existing CDs.
