The installation of these man pages needs perl which isn't installed when we do the glibc installation. The changes have been backed out of CVS until we can think of a way to install them.

The easiest way is to patch glibc with the missing manpages. The patch would be 14KB though (bzip2ed) or 81KB when extracted...

Or we can suggest after the Glibc installation not to remove the glibc-2.2.5 directory yet and keep it until after the perl installation. Then after perl, add a note to the book "you can install the linuxthreads man pages now if you want"

Comment by gerard@…:
after perl installation you can unpack the glibc-linuxthreads package, cd into the 'linuxthreads/man' directory (not linuxthreads_db dir) and run make && make install in it.
I just did that, it works fine unless there are more dependencies to satisfy which we can figure out when we get to it.

The nicest thing would be to add a seperate page after the Perl installation that install the linux threads man pages.

these commands work with glibc-2.2.5 (stuck on the end of the glibc installation)
cd ../glibc-2.2.5/linuxthreads/man && make && make install
I'll add them when I add 2.2.5 to the book in a minute
