Yet another solution for the Staroffice/glibc problems.
RH6.0 has problems with old glibc-2.0.7 binaries. Staroffice and
many other programs do not work with the new glibc. Here is
a workaround based on the 'misc. binary format' feature of
the linux kernel. Even printing seems to work (at least for me).
Please post if this does or does not work for you.
Note: This may also fix other problems reported with the glibc.
0) do *not* modify any staroffice scripts or binaries... (the easy
step first)
1) install the rpm's for
compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1
compat-libs-5.2-1
2) install the appended wrapper file in
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/ld-wrapper
and do
chmod a=rx /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/ld-wrapper
This file will be used to run old applications.
3) install the appended rc.binfmt file below in /etc/rc.d/
make it execute:
chmod a=rx rc.binfmt
run rc.binfmt to activate it. If it produces error
messages, you probably have no misc. binary format
compiled in the kernel. You want to call the
file from /etc/rc.d/rc.serial as well (add a line
saying '/etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt'.
This works as follows: when the kernel is asked to 'execute' a
binary with extension '.bin', it runs the wrapper file instead.
The wrapper loads the binary with the 'right' loader. To run
other old binaries, e.g. 'goodie', simply do:
mv goodie goodie.bin
ln -s goodie.bin goodie
BTW, if somebody finds out the 'magic' bytes of old binaries,
the script could be triggered using the magic fingerprint.
