/usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory

Problem : You are running a 64-bit linux system and trying to compile a 32-bit application and you get this error :

/usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory

Explainations :

Usually crti.o is found in /usr/lib64/ and /usr/lib32/

In this case /usr/lib32/ does not even exists.

Solution :

sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686
