- if you need NIS/NIS+, use the Name Service Cache Daemon nscd that comes
with glibc 2.1.
+?? Compiling programs I get parse errors in libio.h (e.g. "parse error

+{AJ} You might get the following errors when upgrading to glibc 2.1:
+
+ In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:57,
+ from ...
+ /usr/include/libio.h:335: parse error before `_IO_seekoff'
+ /usr/include/libio.h:335: parse error before `_G_off64_t'
+ /usr/include/libio.h:336: parse error before `_IO_seekpos'
+ /usr/include/libio.h:336: parse error before `_G_fpos64_t'
+
+The problem is a wrong _G_config.h file in your include path. The
+_G_config.h file that comes with glibc 2.1 should be used and not one from
+libc5 or from a compiler directory. To check which _G_config.h file the
+compiler uses, compile your program with `gcc -E ...|grep G_config.h' and
+remove that file. Your compiler should pick up the file that has been
+installed by glibc 2.1 in your include directory.
