I think your best bet is to install Gentoo with the current glibc, and then download, configure, compile, and install the 2.3.2 version to /usr/local yourself. You should then be able to start Matlab with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib and have it pick up the older glibc instead of the current. This should also work on any Linux, not just Gentoo. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo glibc-2.3.2 install help
Hello all, First time user of Gentoo. We're wanting to run Matlab R14 SP2 64bit mode. According to Matlab site they support the Linux kernel 2.6.x and glibc-2.3.2. Non of the current linux distro (i.e. Fedora) has that old of glibc. So looking at Gentoo thinking I can build the Gentoo system based on glibc-2.3.2. I'm doing a stage 1 install, and not quite understanding this portage tree stuff. I have tried to put the following in /etc/portage/package.mask: =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3 and /etc/portage/package.unmask =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r12 but bootstrapping the system is failing with deps on glibc newer than what I want.

Am I going about this wrong Have people reported any problems with newer versions of glibc? If not, you should at least try a current stable version. If you want to run an old version of glibc then it's probably easier if you use an old portage tree. Maybe you can use an old gentoo release cd. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
