I'm not sure how to force a dynamically linked program to use compat-glibc instead of the default glibc...maybe some convoluted chroot trickery?
In the meantime, I found an old source rpm for glibc 2.5-65. As soon as a I finish building and installing it I'll let everyone know how it goes. If it works, I'll post an ftp link to the rebuilt rpm's. -Alex On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 9:00 AM, John Ford <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've been trying to get all the mssge toolflow stuff running on a new SL > > 5.8 machine.
