Is there A HOWTO or web site that discusses upgrading one version of glibc
to another ? The only ones I can find deal with moving from libc5 to libc6
which I have already done successfully.
I am currently running glibc-2.0.7pre6 on debian 2.1. I obtained the
sources to glibc-2.1.2, compiled ok with gcc-2.95.1, I then did make
install to /lib and /usr/lib.
At that point, I thought the proper thing to do was to move the symlinks
from the old libraries to the new ones (and the ld-linux.so.2 link to the
new loader).
Kaboom!
None of my existing binaries work. They all complain of the same
undefined symbol (It escapes me at the moment, but I will re-create it and
get the exact name if I didn't go about this the wrong way).
Is 2.0.7 binary compatible with 2.1.2 ?
