I searched the web for 2 packages (glibc*, and glibc-devel*) - I see there are many versions out there, but this made me wonder about something else.
If I install for example, glibc-2.3.3, must the accompanying glibc-devel package be the same version (also 2.3.3) ?
It depends. The -devel version contains the things you need to compile software, in this case against glibc. Things like header files, static versions of the libraries and other things. If you are really sure that nothing has changed between the versions you are looking at, then you can use a different version of -devel. But it's not recommended. To be sure you get the same versions of API and ABI, it's best to stick with matching versions -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
