The difficulty with the JDK1.2/Slackware installation turned out to be a
very incomplete installation of glibc: libc.so.6 had been installed by
copying, but none of the other hundreds of related libraries and support
files was there.
If anyone has some good words of wisdom on putting glibc on a libc5
system, I'm sure some of the viewers would find the info useful. I know
of some old, detailed instructions to install glibc from source
(http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Glibc2-HOWTO.html), but I don't really
know the story for glibc packages. Is it safe to drop in a glibc RPM or
.deb -- does the installation successfully avoid breaking the system?
How well do the distribution upgrades handle the migration to a new
glibc?
Anyone here have some relevant experience?
