(except it was GLIBC_2.15... I used to be able to install higher level libraries and **usually** have them work just fine -- but with a hard-coded symbol in the binary, that's no longer possible.
Are you saying ALL programs use the new GLIBC features, as that used to not be the case.
All programs in openSUSE version xyz use the features of the particular glibc that is shipped in openSUSE xyz. Backwards compatibility means that binaries from xyz minus n, for any n, continue to work on xyz. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
