" /lib/libc-2.5.so"
what operation system are you using ?
CentOS 5 ?

only CentOS 5.9 is currently supported in the older 5 series
and has this version installed " glibc-2.5-107.el5_9.5 "

and if this unknown binary + script "*.bin" program is looking for glibc 2.7
then this program was NOT built to run on the old CentOS 5 series

Start by providing details, as you have been asked to do MANY times in your other threads. Your question is far too vague, and you don't even tell us what version/distro of Linux you're using, what you're typing in, are you logged in as root, or what .bin file you are trying to install, how, and where you got it.

i am using
cent_os 5.6 i386
and i am trying to install crossover on my machine.
that is download from here http://crossover.en.malavida.com/linux/download
when i try to install that .bin file as a root user
than i get an error....
/tmp/installer.ahwZRE3785: /lib/libc-2.5.so: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /tmp/installer.ahwZRE3785)

you have a bit of a problem
"cent_os 5.6 i386 "
cent is ONLY supporting 5.9 in the older 5 series

please read your OTHER POST on this subject
"How to Download Crossover "
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...er-4175478077/

you will have a bit of a hard time using 5.6 and a version of crossover for rhel 6.4

You will have to use an older version of "Crossover".

Glibc (-2.5) is your OS ( Together with the kernel )
... and cannot be changed.

Other option, for the current "Crossover" :
Install a new OS : CentOS 6.4 .

Applications are usually not meant to be run as root.
'root' is for administrative tasks only.

Please try installing 'crossover' at /home/<name>/

what would you say about

John VV · 09-24-2013, 02:32 PM

On a Linux Operating System
You almost NEVER !!!! login as the "Administrator account " root
and almost NEVER use web enabled programs as "Administrator account " root

the root account is for Administrative duties
and NOT for everyday use

also there is a BIG , a VERY BIG difference in

Code:

cd ~/Desktop
su 
--- the root password --
-------- and this ------------
su - 
--- the root password --

also running programs from the very special case folder "Desktop" is NOT advisable

the Desktop folder is a "decorative" folder
for displaying the decorative starting point

you will have a lot better results using your $HOME folder
/home/YourNormalUserName
