Re: libc 6 or 5
folks, i have to confess - i am somewhat confused over this issue. the reason it's come up right now is netscape, i get inconsistent results using either version is there a definitive method for finding out which libc i am using? Yes. It can vary per executable. The ldd command shows you which libraries are used by an executable. On a bo system, I get $ ldd /bin/ls libc.so.5 = /lib/libc.so.5.4.33 This is using libc5 On a hamm system, I get $ ldd /bin/ls libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) This is using libc6, and the ld-linux.so.2 library. i am running debian hamm with a 2.0.34 kernel. A hamm system is libc6, but you can run libc5 executables as wel. For them to work you need to install some packages from hamm's oldlibs section. HTH, Eric -- E.L.
