I'll probably try later, but I'm afraid glibc + h-files will probably replace existing ones.
I understand that replacing glibc is a call for disaster.
Indeed. Even a parallel install - rather than a replacement - and fiddling with LD_LIBRARY_PATH is going to be fraught with complications.

Carlos, Anton, Thanks for warning. I'll stay with the older calibre version that works. In the meantime I tried binary installation on 11.2 and as John and Richard said, it installed easily and is working fine. One thing that surprises me is how it worked on Stan's 11.1 without glibc 2.10. Is it possible that 64-bit version has different dependencies than 32-bit one? Hard to believe. Need to look into installation program to see if they check glibc version for 64-bit architecture.
