hello All,

I have a use case where in I am trying to build a yacc program using bison. When I run this on SLES 9, I get errors. But the same works for me fine on a SLES 10 system.

The versions of bison, glibc are different. Hence I moved the rpms from SLES 10 machine to SLES 9 and did a rpm2cpio of these 2 to a temporary folder and did a export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. When I try to run the program ( ./bison) I am getting a segmentation fault. I have the following questions :

1) IS the scenario what I am trying to do - using a newer version of libc( from sles 10) to sles 9 supported ?

2) if yes, how to resolve the issue.

thanks in advance,

With respect to you mutilating your Enterprise-class distro installation the way you did and without getting into details I'd say the answer is no.
