Hello,

I installed debian lenny some days ago, everything is working perfectly fine, except NetBeans 5.5.1 complaining:


/.netbeans/5.5.1/emulators/wtk251-lin/emulator/bin/preverify1.1: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found

I checked with apt-cache but couldnt find a package looking to be the right one for this problem.

Someone on this post had GLIBC_2.4 missing for unrar

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=553429

I also saw some other threads with apps not running for the same Glib_2.4 not found problem.

As I understand the situation, my libc.so.6 is either the wrong version, or it's not recognized.

Is there any solution to this? would it be possible to install a glibc_2.4 version? (where could i get it) or would it bring major dependency problems if I tried to get the glibc_2.4 libc.so.6 installed?


Thanks for your help

The 2.4 version was not included in any Debian package that I know of they had 2.3 then went directly to 2.5 you should see if you can get a version of the program that works with the newer version.

2.4 was in experimental for a while before 2.5 was released. It never hit Sid. I have heard that you can get older packages for Debian somewhere, but it is unlikely that these archives contain old experimental packages (even if you do find it, consider that it was too unstable even for Sid).

Ah then you would want http://snapshot.debian.net/ possibly for it although if it never made it into the archive on the main servers I doubt that I would use it there must have been some reason it never got there.

Well, it appears snapshot.debian.net does keep track of experimental packages. The last libc6 before 2.5 appeared in experimental was 2.3.999.2-12. Oh and 2.6 is available if you're interested...

I have the etch and the error as well :
what to do please ?
