How to tell glibc version?
It used to be you can determine the versiob of glibc using 'ls -l /lib/libc.so.6' on SuSE. This only yields the following with SuSE Office Desktop: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1312483 Nov 14 10:30 /lib/libc.so.6 Also, I have a few applications that break under 8.1 with some libc errors. Is sometrhing amiss with glibc on SuSE Office Desktop? Thanks, CC ---------- This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

You can try: rpm -qa | grep glibc Regards. -- Alfredo J. Cole http://www.acyc.com http://www.clshonduras.com

You could use the following command: (as root) rpm -qa | grep -i glibc This will report the version installed. Ken

Don't confuse libc.so.6 with glibc You can tell what version you have by the numbers following the .so Mine is in /usr/local/lib but the suse default is in /usr/lib libglib-2.0.so.0.200.0 for gtk2 there is also libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10 for gtk1 -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

Why not just run /lib/libc.so.6 ? It returns its version then. Mine, for example says (on SuSE 8.1): GNU C Library stable release version 2.2.5, by Roland McGrath et al.

??? libc.so.6 is glibc.
You can tell what version you have by the numbers following the .so
No, to determine the glibc version number, you run libc itself: kukuk@rubicon:~> /lib/libc.so.6 GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.1, by Roland McGrath et al.

Oops, an extra c. IIRC I was refering to the original poster's problem, which said he was getting errors about "glibc" when compiling some gtk2 app. He then referred to libc.so.6 as the possible problem, where it is highly likely the problem was with glib. As in libglib-2.0.so.0.200.0 which is part of the glib package. It's not likely the compiled failed because of libc.so.6, but very likely that it failed because of libglib. But of course, you are right, libc.so.6 is glibc but not glib. It's a distinction which eluded me for quite some time. :-) -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
