Yeah, I was actually going to change distros! but Ive been running into a lot of unexpected problems so I switched back to this old version of ubuntu for a while.

 I found a thread on compiling glibc 2.7 for ubunu 7.10 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608459

But I haven't managed to get it to work. I'll probably just see about getting that other distro to work again before I try PlaneShift. It's too bad, I'm really excited about the RP aspect of this game, it's hard to wait!

Thanks again for the help! 

I'm stumped...

Note: I am running an older version of Ubuntu (6.06, dapper drake).

My installiation worked like a charm. I ran it as root so that I could use menu icons, and installed it into /opt

First I tried to execute it from the Applications menu: Nothing happened... So I tried opening it in the terminal with
$ /opt/PlaneShift/psclient
and got the following error messages:

./psclient.bin: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (req uired by ./psclient.bin)
./psclient.bin: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (req uired by libs/libjpeg.so.8 )

I've done a web search, and haven't come up with any answers yet.

Any help would be much appreciated!
