libc.so relocation error???

I recently (as in today) went on an updating binge, upgrading old programs and libraries that I think should be up to date (this seems to happen every few months). I've updated my gcc, my glibc, and a wack of other programs, but when updating my glib (not glibc) I get an error as follows:

/usr/local/bin/lpr: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: symbol __libc_stack_end, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

anyonw know what I did wrong?

I am guessing that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set incorrectly so that it is referencing a newer or incorrect version of the libc libraries (since I believe the symbol __libc_stack_end has been discontinued in newer versions). Try:

% unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

...and hopefully the error will go away.
