Before trying to provide any hint, but also to be able to understand and fix the problem, we need to have a clear status of your system. Could you please run the following commands and send us the output: - dpkg -l "libc*" - ls -l /lib /lib32 /lib64 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ Thanks, Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
