Which version auf lib-compat?  Is this bug still valid?

Comment 2 SteveC 2004-02-22 10:35:18 UTC

any version, and yes the bug is still valid. It builds on x86. Its bloody annoying, I had to buy the new version of mathematica (4.2 ppc) which isn't statically linked to .so.5

status of bug shouldn't be 'resolved' IMHO

Actually, it doesn't build it at all. This is a binary package. Where do we find a libc.so.5 binary that works with mathematica?

Comment 4 SteveC 2004-02-22 12:43:45 UTC

I dunno where...

I remember seeing some libc mailing list report that all support for libc5 had been dropped apart from x86 but can only find <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2001/debian-68k-200103/msg00128.html">this</a>
This is reflected by ther only being a <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/oldlibs/libc5">i386 debian package</a>...

libc5 is no longer needed for commercial applications. 

(and mathematica 5 is out ! :-) )
