Title: linux tar.gz problem: psclient-bin: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLI
Post by: simm on May 22, 2003, 09:49:08 pm

Ok, I downloaded and extracted the tar file,
 Guessing that psclient was the file to run executed it and got the following message:

psclient-bin: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2\' not found (required by ./psclient-bin)

My current version of libc6 is 2.3.1-16 (debian sarge) even sid only has 2.3.1-17 (as far as I can tell)

I am guessing (and this is only a guess feel free to correct me if I am wrong) that the planeshift I downloaded was compiled using glibc 2.3.2 and that since I dont want to break out of debian standard archives for glibc that I am going to have to download the source to planeshift and compile it myself?

Is that my only solution or is there an easier way out of this?

Cheers

Simon

You basically have 2 options.

1) Try to compile the source version.
I\'m using Debian Sid at the moment and I haven\'t been able to get PS to work. There\'s a thread about it in the Technical Help section, in http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=3622&boardid=17&styleid=3 . Basically it comes down to fixing some compiling problems, most of them harder ro find than to fix. The problem is that, after compiling, PS still doesn\'t run, because of a problem with AWS. At this point I\'d spent a lot of time getting it to run and I basically gave up.
So I\'ve arrived at the second option.

2) Wait for 3.2.2 to enter Sid/Sarge and hope that the devs compile against a normal version for the next releases.

If you manage to fix the AWS problem though, I\'d be very grateful if you\'d post the sollution in this forum. :)

Right, well I\'ll upgrade my work box to sarge (its currently woody) and I\'ll have a play today if I get time.

Well I just did a compile on this, it seemed to work and to run (well psclient executed and a window appeared, I cntrl-C\'d it before any graphics appeared though since I am currently at work - I\'ll try it properly after hours.

this is running on a sarge box (though with a few bits of sid, and it may have a couple of things left over from when it was a woody box)

I did not seem to see any AWS related errors
