Ok, so I guess statically linking against the stuff isn't the way to go,

apparently DLL hell is worse on linux. Sooo...What do I do?
In the other thread, Spacen said: "The way to do this is to link against

I know my way around Linux as a user, but with deeper system stuff like
that
I'm pretty much lost. I don't have a clue how to do what Spacen suggests
or
how to determine what version of libc I need. Can anyone help me out with
that?
It's been a while since I had to deal with old libs, but usually a linux
distro will provide 'compatibility' versions of the standard libraries.
Look for packages using your package manager that end with compat
