Bug#261035: libc6: relocation errors again ...
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-13
Severity: normal
I encounteded this while trying to run IBM's ViaVoice and xvoice (speech
recognition software). I had previously ('round 2002) good results, but
didn't reinstall it on a newer machine until now.
Background : IBM's apps (installer, voice trainer, etc ...) are Java apps. I
succeeded in installing Sun's SDK 1.4.2, and was able to run the trainer (not
the dictation app (yet), because I get an error message telling me that
native VMs are not supported ; but that's another story).
xvoice, OTOH, is an X application (GTK ?) that acts as middleware between sound
hardware and any keyboard-capable application, and uses IBM'S ViaVoice SDK
(officially no longer available, bu I have a spare copy). Its source (gpl)
can be obtained at http://xvoice.sourceforge.net/.
I compiled xvoice with no problem (a log is avilable if needed). However :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xvoice
xvoice: relocation error: /usr/lib/libvtbnfc31.so: symbol errno, version
GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
Perusing the glibc mailing list archive and the bug reports, I've seen a lot
of such problems, often, but not always, solved by fixing the application.
I'm looking for help about this : what should I look for in the source ?
What are the likely problems ?
I file it as a bug, because I fail to understand how a C/C++ app, compiled
from a correcly autoconf'd source, can cause this kind of problems.
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Charpentier

Bug#808181: libc6: Upgrade can make the linker unusable
Dear developers, I've just got bitten by this bug. About 3 millimeters from my carotid artery... This bugs effectively renders my system unusable for compilation purposes : even extremely mundane uses, such as upgradng some R packages, is now impossible. Suggestions : 1) The gravity of this bug should be elevated : it renders the system unusable at least for some mundane uses. 2) The upgrade to glibc should be conditioned to the upgrade of binutils 3) A workaround should be posted on this bug report as soon as possible (upgrade to unstable's binutils ?), and possibly publicized by larger means (finding this bug is not obvious for pedestrian users like me...). Sincerely yours, -- Emmanuel Charpentier
Bug#184696: libc6: Outdated libc6 ? (problem with recent OpenOffice snapshots)
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-14
Severity: normal
I have had problems with recent OpenOffice snapshots (644m1 and 644m4). The
644m1 crashes in various situations, complaining of a runtime linking problem,
644m4 doesn't even start and hangs silently. See
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11695 for one bug report.
The answer from the OpenOffice team has been :

We don't run on glibc 2.3.1 because of a problem in the glibc.
It appears (in other bug reports about similar issues) that the issue is
related to "a problem" (undescribed) in 2.3.1 and that a newer 2.3.2 glibc
solves the problem.
1) Is that already known ?
2) If so, what are the plans to solve it ? Port this library to Debian
unstable ? If so, when ? If not, what else ?
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Charpentier
