GLIBC 2.4 in Debian 4.0
 
I need >= GLIBC 2.4 in Debian 4.0, this is needed in order to run e.g. OpenArena 0.8.
However, the latest version available in Debian Etch through apt is 2.3.6, how do I solve this issue?

You can install glibc >= 2.4 somewhere in the system let's say in directory
/OpenArena.
Then run OpenArena as
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/OpenArene OpenArena.

Or you can on another box, which has needed glibc install OpenArena,
pack it using Ermine (http://magicErmine.com) or staifier (http://statifier.sf.net)
and then copy packed executable to your Debian box. Packed executable will have all needed libraries embedded, so virtually it has no dependencies.

Can not find version 2.4 but

Package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
* etch (stable) (libs): The GNU stdc++ library

When I attempt to compile glibc 2.4 or glibc 2.7 I get the following errors:

Prior to the errors I have unpacked, created the directory "build" from which I execute the configure script with --prefix=/opt/glibc as argument.
Then I do "make 2> errors.log" and get the following errors in errors.log:

Code:

Never mind, I corrected the bad use of regex in the script.

However, even with the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc240 when I execute openarena I get:

Code:
x86-1$ ./openarena.i386
./openarena.i386: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./openarena.i386)
x86-1$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/glibc240/
x86-1$
Any ideas?

Did you run ldconfig after installing glibc? You might also want to add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf

Yes, unfortunately I've tried that as well, it doesn't seem to do anything at all.

What if I merely compile and install the glibc manually, and overwrite the old (Debian package-based) system wide glibc-install? Will that correct the issue, or will it cause hell with Debian's package manager/system?
