Arnd, I don't know if it would work or not, but id be looking at running it in a chroot jail or possibly even UML. This way it would only require the libs it needs and the rest of the system should be fairly stable and it will make it easy to upgrade the package at a later date or the libs/prerequiste's of the package as they wont affect any other service / lib /system.
** Please correct me if Im wrong.

I have a binary (payware, no source) i need to run which needs bleeding edge libs which are only available in debian testing. As the prog needs to run on a production system i dont want to upgrade to the testing distribution. The libs in question are: libc.so.6 + libstdc++.so.5 I grabbed those, and some more libs from the unstable distribution, installed (or extracted) them in a separate dir tree but when i (LD_LIB_PATH set correctly) start the prog i only get the following error message: lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libdl.so.2) And some more similiar messages. Can anyone clue me in on how to get those two forsaken libs cleanly installed on a debian stable system so this damn binary will run? thanx, Arnd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
