Description Linus Harling 2005-09-07 07:42:30 UTC

When trying to start an app called fieldview (http://www.ilight.com) I get:
relocation error: ./fvbin: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file
libc.so.6 with link time reference
With glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1 this problem could be resolved by using
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.8" prior to starting fv. After upgrading to glibc-2.3.5-r1
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL does nothing to alleviate the problem.

Downgrading to glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1 helps.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.8
2./opt/fv10/bin/fv


Actual Results:  
fieldview exits with:
relocation error: ./fvbin: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file
libc.so.6 with link time reference

Expected Results:  
fieldview should start

I realize I should probably pester ilight about this instead, but as I thought
this might be applyable to more software than fieldview (f.ex. matlab) a bug
might be in order anyway.

The problem occured on a production server with a bunch of users breathing down
my neck, thus I didn't have the time or peace of mind to do more thorough
checking. I googled around as much as I could for more ways to diagnose what
specifically had gone awry, to no avail.

Oh, BTW, this is my first bug, please go easy on me ;-)

re-emerge glibc with USE=glibc-compat20
