Hello,
I must test a software with a older version of the glibc. I run the
2.11.1 now but for one tool I need a previous version (2.6.1).
How can I compile the glibc without changing my system glibc. I
would
like to set the previous glibc with the LD_PATH.
Can I run two different versions or is a better solution to
downgrade
the system glib?
I think that the only way you can do this is to create a chroot jail,
in which you build everything using the old version of glibc (in a
very
similar way to building a new Gentoo system) and run your
application in
that.
no, you can install glibc in /usr/local and then tell apps to either
use the
libs in /usr/local or /usr.
It is just not easy because it easily breaks stuff in horrrible to
fix ways.
Okay, can I downgrade my glibc? My Gentoo isn't a big system, it's a
server
installation, so I can recompile the whole system. I had forgotten to
mask the
glibc on the last update. I have add a line to the portage.mask but
emerge says
that it can't compile the older version, because will damage the system.
