Tuncer: The LD_PRELOAD trick and the patchelf magic solved the problem
nicely..
I'd still prefer if a SuSE binary distro was available from the downloads
page, for the good of the community. When I tried to build from source, I
was getting all sorts of error messages even from the configure step;
Hi Aycan.. Indeed I was able to use patchelf, so I don't need the
LD_PRELOAD trick anymore either. Thanks for the pointer..
As a side note: While I'm impressed with the level of trickery available to
inject/remove/change arbitrary functionality to binaries, I'm also
surprised to see how easy it wo
I'm happy to see it worked. If you want to get rid of LD_PRELOAD, you may
use patchelf to modify your binary to inject your fakelib. See 'add-needed'
parameter here:

What exactly failed? Have you tried using a same-distro-version SuSE
chroot/container
I really like the idea of nix. Alas, generating native binaries that can
run on SuSE without being in the nix environment is a requirement that's
hard to let go. (Everyone in my group would have to start using nix, a tall
order.)
Thanks for the advice however, it can indeed come handy for one-off

Hello all,
I've been having a lot of trouble installing the binary-distro's on a SuSE
machine. Unfortunately, I don't have root privileges and thus my options
are rather limited.
The problem seem to boil down to the use of the function
pthread_setname_np. It appears the problem was noted before,
