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.
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.
Hold it. "glibc" and "glibc2" are two terms for the same thing, which is the new GNU C library (Version 2.x.x). This is what SuSE Linux 6.0 is based on and which is necessary for running StarOffice.
Hi Lenz, Is the glibc that comes with version 6.0 going to be version 2.06? I hope so. There seems to be alot of confusion. There seems to be a glibc1, and a glibc2, and the current version of glibc2 is 2.06. I know that you guys do the right thing, but there are so many people complaining about these library incompatibilities. - 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>>
