[opensuse] glibc version
I have an openSUSE 42.3 system on which I am trying to run some libraries compiled for Ubuntu. They are for Z+F lasers (https://www.zf-laser.com/Home.91.0.html?&L=1), not that this is important. But they are starting to add Linux support for their devices. Generally, lots of things work. The only issue is that some of the libraries want a newer version of glibc. openSUSE 42.3 uses 2.22, and these libraries want 2.27. I know that glibc supports various versions at the same time. I guess it is part of the install. That is, IIUC, version 2.22 supports that release, as well as some earlier versions. One does not have different versions of the RPM installed. I think I know the answer to this, but is it possible to update glibc to version 2.27 on openSUSE 42.3? I'm okay if it is in some parallel directory that only these libraries/binaries know about. Has anyone done this kind of thing? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Roger, See: Multiple glibc libraries on a single host https://stackoverflow.com/questions/847179/multiple-glibc-libraries-on-a-sin... It can get really messy, but you can use another glibc to build the needed shared objects for your program. -- David C.

You can update it to a newer glibc from Leap 15 or so, this should be possible. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

As an aside, I have pointed Z+F to the Open Build Service. Maybe they will be interested and build for more than Ubuntu. Of course, testing on all these platforms remains tricky. But that's life in The Linux World. Another supplier that supports Linux (Ubuntu) is Point Gray (now owned by Flir), We never could get their LadyBug5 360 degree cameras to provide images on openSUSE. We could find then, talk to them and all, but images never arrived. So even if they could build packages, they would need to test them. This is Linux's current Achilles heel. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I should point out that this was with the Ubuntu binaries Flir supplied, running on openSUSE. It was not compiled on openSUSE. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
