Hi,

On my rather old computer I run Suse 10.0 (as my second OS).
I tried to upgrade my existing Lazarus (0.9.24) to 0.9.26.
I downloaded the rpm's for fpc, fpc-src and lazarus, then tried:

simenon:/home/bart/downloads # rpm -Uvh fpc-2.2.2-0.i386.rpm
fpc-src-2.2.2-081004.i386.rpm lazarus-0.9.26-0.i386.rpm

which gave me
error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by fpc-2.2.2-0

I queried rpm for the version of glibc:
simenon:/home/bart/downloads # rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.5-40

As far as I can see, there is no glibc-2.4 available for Suse 10.0
Does this mean I have to upgrade Suse to 10.2 (10.3) in order to get
the latest Lazarus working again? That would be rather frustrating.
I still can run Lazarus on my WinME, but I really enjoy having it on linux too.
I even wrote one minor patch for fpc, which was also nice. I would
really miss it, if I could not even try to contribute to the project
anymore...

Anyone knows why 2.2.2 now needs glibc-2.4, when 2.2.0 was quite happy
with glibc-2.3? I found nothing in the release notes about this.

Is there a way to get around this problem?

Note, I'm rather new at Linux, but I'm not afraid of the console...

Bart
