Re: How to install glibc-2.4 correctly

I have never manually installed G++ so I unfortunately cannot help you. 
  You may want to use google to search for instructions on installing 
G++ on the IRIX platform.  Also I am somewhat suprised that you do not 
already have a compiler installed by default, although I have never 
worked with IRIX before so I don't know if this is unusual or not.

Here are some links that may help you on your way.

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#mips-sgi-irix6
http://freeware.sgi.com/
http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/gcc-3.3.html

P.S. cc is the command for the c compiler.

I am dealing with many images but they have to be renamed and C++ will be used to rename them (instead of myself renaming them manually).  I have gone through the FAQ manual and the online documentation.  I would like to know all information required to properly install the glibc-2.4 tar file.  Can someone just tell me the bare basics (I really don't want to ruin the computer's system)?
