This still doesn't make sense to me. So isn't glic-2.3 backwards compatible? I've been using quite alot of RHL 7.2 compiled programs with the new version and had no problems whatsoever. So why do the DRI drivers require specifically version 2.3? Perhaps this is a pickyness of XFree86 module loader. >*please* find a machine with a copy of glibc2.2, wait until glibc2.3 >actually becomes a release to compile against it (or, if in the case of >redhat, distribute it with your distro) The final RHL 8.0 was released 2 days ago. I'll upgrade soon but I already checked and it has the same version of gcc. Please note that the snapshots are done on workstation in the nigth, and I needed to upgrade for several reasons regarding my work. I have no other machine powerfull enough to do all these snapshots. What I'll do is install a older version of Gentoo in a chroot'ed environment to compile the snapshots using gcc-2.95.3 and glibc-2.2.5 for the _time being_. But I see rough times ahead for the binary snapshots. I surely can't make one for each system out there. And if the others distros don't also upgrade to glic-2.3 then I think the best is to completely stop the snapshots builds and replace them with a nice set of scripts which people can use to make their own customized snapshot.
