Updating to glibc 2.4

newio · 12-13-2006, 09:40 AM

Hey All,

I've got a game i want to play (Tribal Trouble, http://www.oddlabs.com/) which requires glibc 2.4 to play.

Having just spent a lot of time getting my Slack box to work exactly how i want it (btw, thankx to all the peeps on this forums for ur help!), i dont really want to do anything to break it.

Will upgrading the slack default glibc 2.3.6 to 2.4 break anything? Is it a very involved process, or can i just install a slack-build?

hm.. i tried tribal trouble before (http://slackblogs.blogspot.com/2006/...altrouble.html) and i'm using the standard glibc in Slackware and it worked.

well, in that case, any thoughts on the below error. The developer said i would have to rebuild the .so for glibc 2.3.5. He also said it is trying the 64bit library because the loading of the 32bit library failed (which i originally thought could be the problem).

Quote:

I've got a crash on start. Its says its after GLIBC_2.4, though the game only recommends 2.3. Any ideas (env flag to set or something?). Current glibc is 2.3.6

Im on a mostly default Slack11 install, with the 2.6.18.5 kernel. All other games work fine (ET, D3, Q4 etc).

Here's some logs i know you all like:

std.out and event.log are 0 byte. Any and all help appreciated.

Oh, and the attempt to load a 64-bit library is weird...

Upgrading to glibc-2.4 will almost surely bork your entire system. Why not just recompile the game instead as the developer suggested.
