Hi.
excuse me, it surely is a newbie question ...
assuming my system is using glibc2.1, which resides in /lib
why can't I install a glibc2.0 in a /glibc2.0 directory under my home dir
and have only selected apps (as for instance jdk12_pre_v1) use it,
executing them from a shell where I have set :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/glibc20:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I hoped this would have allowed me to use glibc20 programs on my rh6 system,
but I got messages from bash complaining about the version number.
I guess I should set some other env var, but don't know what.
I know jdk12 for glibc21 is released, but I would have liked to be able
to overcome similar issues with other sw ...
bye,
Edo.
