How to work with dependencies on glibc2.3?
I am trying to get a number of music related packages working on Suse 8. I have been dismayed to see that both Suse 8 and 8.1 are at glibc2.2.5. MusE in particular requires libc.so.6 from glibc2.3 and won't start. Is there anything I can do with Suse 8 to get this working? The MusE that's installed with Yast is too unstable to really use and is many revs out of the latest version.

Well, glibc 2.2.5 was the latest release, when we released 8.1. Get the source rpm's and rebuild them and you're fine. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

-------------------------- Well Mads, I am going to ask the dumb question. Where are the source rpms located for this? Are these from SuSE or another source? Thanks Patrick --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206

Patrick, be very carefull. I blindly went through the download, compile and install routine and when done my system was all screwed up. I kept getting error messages that I had the wrong libc.so.6. No amount of uninstall and reinstall of the original would help. I ended up having to reinstall 8.1 to get back to normal. Not fun but an easy task that only takes a few hours of your time. Up until I installed the 2.3 thing I had had no problem compiling and installing stuff. So be careful. make notes and if something screws up you 'may' be able to recover. If you are successful please let me know how you did it. Richard

-------------------------------- Ok, well, that's enough to keep me right where I am at for the moment then! Thanks Richard for your warnings and sorry you had to go thru that experience so the rest of us would know to leave well enough alone, until SuSE makes this available to us.

Which will be as part of the next version of SuSE Linux as we have the strict policy of not doing version updates for released distributions. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de> SuSE Linux AG, Deutschherrnstr. 15-19, D-90429 Nuremberg, Germany
Well, glibc 2.2.5 was the latest release, when we released 8.1.

If you mean the Suse source rpms, that sounds similiar to what I had to do when I used freeBSD ;-) Any idea of how hard this is likely to be? The other comments haven't been too encouraging. Otherwise, any idea of when another release of Suse will be using 2.3?
