If I do install libc6 and compile net-tools, won't my loader fail trying to load programs compiled with the libc6 libraries? I guess this comes down to a more basic question - Does the dynamic linker understand which libc library a particular program was compiled with and load the correct one? Can I mix and match programs compiled under libc5 and libc6 on the same system? I guess I don't have a firm grasp on the movement from lib5c -> libc6 issue, as I find myself stumbling to ask coherent questions. I've read quite a bit about the pains of the libc4 -> libc5 migration, but that was before my time... I'm off to find to find out more.

I took a look at these libraries, and those calls are there, but You can't build this program with libc5. Either you must install libc6, or (as you guessed) the libinet6 from inet6-apps. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
