I had a problem while trying to install glibc 2.14, I got this error

/home/myname/glibc_install/glibc-2.14/build/elf/ldconfig: Can't open configuration file /opt/glibc-2.14/etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory

The fix suggested this

:/opt/glibc-2.14/etc$ sudo sh -c "echo '/opt/lib' >> ld.so.conf"

AFAIK sudo sh -c "echo '/opt/lib' >> ld.so.conf" means open the sh program(the shell) and give it this command "echo '/opt/lib' >> ld.so.conf" to execute, which creates a file named ld.so.conf in the current directory and save in it /opt/lib, is that right ? what does the entire line means, or what the shell is going to do step by step ?

Breaking down the command: sudo sh -c "echo '/opt/lib' >> ld.so.conf" into bite size chunks:

sudo sh -c means to run shell command via the Bourne shell with super-user privileges.

echo '/opt/lib' >> ld.so.conf is going to APPEND whatever is inside the quotes + a n (newline) char into ld.so.conf in the tail of the file.

  That is just the person's terminal prompt output. Which varies from machine to machine depending on what is set for your environment's $PS1 variable. It is there before he starts typing anything, so it's superfluous to your issue and should be ignored.

Yes confusing) It looks like the first bit is the prompt (containing the working directory).

Therefore do

cd /opt/glibc-2.14/etc

sudo sh -c "echo '/opt/lib' >> ld.so.conf"

or

echo '/opt/lib' | sudo tee >/dev/null -a /opt/glibc-2.14/etc/ld.so.conf
