I've got a cobalt raq4 with centos 4.9 on it (strongbolt2), I'm trying to run an app that is asking for GLIBC_2.4 and won't proceed without it. If I do:
# rpm -q glibc I get
glibc-2.3.4-2.54
I tried yum update and yum upgrade but no joy.
I tried up2date glibc but that didn't work - it said:
'The following packages you requested are already updated:
glibc'
I tried installing glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.2.i386.rpm but I got:
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.5-49.el5_5.2 is needed by glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.2.i386
glibc > 2.3.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.4-2.54.i386
glibc = 2.3.4-2.54 is needed by (installed) glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.54.i386

glibc = 2.3.4-2.54 is needed by (installed) glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.54.i386

upgrading centos is not an option with this server. Is there a way I can get GLIBC_2.4 on without breaking the system?

No.

Upgrade CentOS. Or install a new instance on other hardware. Do NOT continue attempting to shoehorn glibc 2.5 into CentOS 4.

Or try recompiling your app from source on the CentOS 4 box and see if it works.

Glibc is your system, and cannot be changed.


Which application is it about ? ?

I'm trying to run app_loader - I got it here:
http://web.retardedrobot.com:8080/Pr...bx_downloader/

OK, the complete application is "nbx-downloader".

Please type : mkdir nbx_downloader && cd nbx_downloader/ &&
wget http://web.retardedrobot.com:8080/Pr...downloader.zip EDIT : New link below ..
&& unzip nbx_downloader.zip
New link : nbx_downloader.tar.bz2 >>>
> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...EVBSDNOQ0QtZUE

Then delete the binary app_loader, and run 'make' :
A new app_loader for CentOS 4 is created !
( Other binaries : Delete, and run 'make -i'.)

Prerequisites : Libnet-1.0.2, libpcap

The CentOS 4 binaries : NBX-1.el4-i386.tar.bz2 ( 14.6 kB )

thanks for your further feedback on this. I did what you said and:
# rpm -q shows I've got libnet-1.1.2.1-2.rf and libpcap-0.8.3-12.el4_6.1
and I deleted app_loader but when I run make I get:
# make
gcc -Wall -ggdb -I /usr/include/libnet -I /usr/include/pcap -L/home/jer/Libnet-1.0.2a/lib -o downdump downdump.c -lpcap -lnet

should I delete this 'implicit decalarations' in downdump.c?
thanks for any further pointers.

ps: also that second link you gave produces:
'Access to the webpage was denied'

The required libnet is version 1.0.2, not the very different libnet-1.1.2.1.
# yum install libnet10-devel : Version 1.0.2a-17.el4.
→ From the EPEL.repo https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
> > http://download.fedoraproject.org/pu...-10.noarch.rpm
(( http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4/i386/ ))
And : # yum install libpcap-devel EDIT : No libpcap-devel, just libpcap.


Google docs has changed, not quite sure how it should work now,
but here is a different link, NBX-1.el4-i386.tar.bz2
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US

If it fails, please send an "LQ email" with your email adress,
and I will attach the 14 kB package to a return mail.

I managed to get libnet10-1.0.2a-17.el4 installed but yum wouldn't install libpcap-devel, I got:
'No Match for argument: libpcap-devel
Nothing to do'
I also tried a google search but all the rpm's are for centos 5 and above. I tried one of the centos 5 rpm's but I got failed dependencies

ps: I did get NBX-1.el4-i386.tar.bz2 from your link thanks.

Sorry, my bad.

The package 'libpcap' also includes all development files.
There is no package 'libpcap-devel' for CentOS 4.


The required libnet is : libnet10-devel

.

doesn't matter, those binaries I got from NBX-1.el4-i386.tar.bz2 worked just great so thanks for your help on this knudfl.

hi

I have copied cento 4 binaries from your post (NBX-....)
app_loader is working fine but when I run ./downserv throw errow

libpcap.so.0.8.3: cannot open shared object file:No such file or directory?

May I know why?

How Do I fix it.

Post # 11, @ sajithg : Welcome to LQ.

The binaries in NBX-1.el4-i386.tar.bz2 are for RHEL4, CentOS4 only.

And libpcap must be installed. Like # yum install libpcap



If you have another OS, then please recompile, see post # 5.
