wrong lib versions (binary package, on rh9)

[ramendik]

Hello,

I am trying to run the binary package, provided as the download link, on a Red Hat 9 system.

I get the following error message:

./psc: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by ./psc)
./psc: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by libs/libstdc++.so.6)

The problem is, on my system, the versions are glibc 2.3.2 and gcc 3.2.2.

Is there a way to run Planeshift on this system?

Also, and perhaps more importantly, one could expect this problem on the *current* Debian stable distribution - it uses glibc 2.3.2 (and gcc 3.3 which is OK).

Hello,

in Debian Sarge you can use the glibc from testing. explained here:

For me it works fine. But i don't know how to do this on Redhat.

I'm trying to reduce the version requirement (currents glibc 2.3.3) to give compatibility for next update. Tbh, any distro that uses such old C libs needs a slap. (like debian needs a slap to hurry up and release a new version to stable)

The gcc problem I'm not sure I should fix. It just adds size to the download by me distributing extra libs for people with derilict distros. gcc 3.2.2 is _old_ and shouldn't be used by anyone.

Glibc problem should be solved by next update anyway.

Is there a way that you can upgrade it to a more recent version (Fedora or CentOS) ??

Upgrade to something at least.  I'd bet they aren't even releasing security updates for RH9 anymore... and if they are they won't be for much longer.

Try to start Fedora Core or CentOS installation and check, if it will give You a choice of upgrading old system to newer version. It works for older FC versions, I think it should be possible also for RH9. Just in case - make backup of important data before upgrading. If it is not possible - the best thing to do is to make a backup of all important and unimportant data and install fresh system. You can also install new system on other disk/partition and migrate data/settings/applications manually, leaving old system intact.

Upgrading from RH9 to Fedora or CentOS will not work. Although Fedora is (partially) designed by Red Hat engineers, it is not the same package anymore... The same goes for CentOS. Based on Red Hat Enterprise, it will not allow you to upgrade from Fedora to the latest CentOS, so upgrading from RH9 is out of the question ...

You'd better consider doing a clean install
