Has anyone else managed to install this on SuSE 6.0?
I have, as far as I can tell, now fully upgraded my machine to 6.0, which I'm given to understand is glibc2-based. I've downloaded StarOffice 5.0 and its installer is saying I don't have the right libraries - namely glibc2. I don't want to run the library installer that StarOffice supply as last time I did that I killed my machine stone dead - had to go for a complete reinstall.
I thought SuSE were now including StarOffice 5 - with presumably a suitable rpm or something - but I can find no sign of it on their site.
I just received an email from a person who is using the German version of Suse 6.0. He said that it is glibc based, not glibc2. There is a difference. Apparently, Suse hasn't gotten around to making a rpm to upgrade to glibc2.
Ah
If anyone has info on the glibc vs. glibc2 situation and Suse 6.0, please share it. 6.0 should be arriving shortly and I want to be prepared to upgrade right away. It should be easy on 6.0 as opposed to 5.3.
Well, see my previous - I *think* I've done the upgrade. I *think* I may now be on glibc2 - at least as regards the core library (libc-2.0.7.so linked to from libc.so.6) and the loader (ld-linux.so.etc) but not the other libraries, that form the glibc2 installation from StarOffice - one or more of those causes a number of bad failures in the rest of the SuSE system. Many services fail to start. -- Rachel Still to get round to making a .sig file - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
