Wine problem GLIBC_2.3.4

I was running wine quite happily on Mandrake 10.0 with photoshop, dreamweaver and some other apps.

Anyway, I wanted to install Internet Explorer 6 so that I use it to see how certain web pages looked. I couldn't get the damned thing to install. When I looked on Frank's Corner, it suggested using the sidenet installer to do it.

So, i got the files, but in the docs it says you need wine20041201...sigh....so I uninstalled the old one and installed wine-20041201-mdk.i586. I then ran sidenet and it appeared to do everything it should and install IE6 and configure wine.

In the process it set up a whole new fake C drive, so I basically lost all the old apps.

Anyway....when I try to run anything, it just won't work - if I type 'wine IEXPLORE.EXE' it comes up with an error:

Code:

fixme:actctx:CreateActCtxW stub!

wine: Unhandled exception (thread 001e), starting debugger...

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"dbghelp.dll": /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/wine/dbghelp.dll.so)

err:module:import_dll Loading library dbghelp.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system\\winedbg.exe") failed (error c000007a).

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system\\winedbg.exe" failed, status c0000135

Now, it makes no sense to me, but the implication seems to be that I need glibc_2.3.4, whereas i actually have 2.3.3. I can't even see a 2.3.4 version for mandrake 10.0 anywhere. It's very frustrating - this sidenet application is supposed to do it all for you, but instead it has created lots of hassle. Now i have no working wine apps at all.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to resolve this?

You can't find 2.3.4, because according to the GNU website, 2.3.3 is the latest release.
The people who compiled your new version of wine may have been using a testing build.

What else may have happened is that those people were using a newer 2.3.3, in which case it would complain about missing 2.3.4 (Yes, it doesn't make sense to me either)

Try upgrading libc, but note on some distros this used to be a bit of hit or miss in terms of "I wonder if my system will work after this" Search on google as to how to update your libc in Mandrake, I have no expirience with it.

i would replace wine (maybe compile one yourself) before libc

I don't know - I don't think that the problem is necessarily anything to do with wine itself. When I upgraded to wine20041201, some but not all the apps were running. After I used the sidenet application nothing runs.

I had similar problem when installing wine gave me the glibc error that you got so I took the source code and compiled it myself got rid of the error
