Having just installed SuSE 6.0, mainly to get glibc2 availability for
StarOffice 5.0, I've just become aware of some incompatibility issues.
It seems that while both SuSE and StarOffice use glibc 2.0.7, the version
supplied with SuSE is different (and newer?) than the 2.0.7 supplied with
StarOffice and mandated for use with SO5.
Some additional libraries are supplied with SO5 and these do not seem to
present any problems.
However the SuSE and SO5 versions of :
libBrokenLocale-2.0.7.so, and
libpthread
are in different versions in SuSE and SO5.
Also the linker ld-2.0.7.so is supplied in a different version with
each programme. SO5 insist that their version of these libraries and the linker
should be used with SO5, but I can find no way of installing using their
libraries without tampering with things on my SuSE installation which I fear may
corrupt SuSE.
Has anybody successfully overcome these issues? Pointers would be greatly
appreciated.
