Redhat has annoyed a lot of people with this incompatible change, see e.g. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86465 The eclipse we are currently distributing works with glibc 2.0-2.2. I have experimented a bit and it seems impossible to build a library that works with 2.0-2.3, but i can build one that works with 2.1-2.3. So, if there are no objections, we could drop support for glibc 2.0 and make things work on 2.3, any opinions? Hopefully in the future such problems will not occur any longer since glibc seems to use versioned symbols now. -- Joachim Schimpf / phone: +44 20 7594 8187 IC-Parc / mailto:J.Schimpf@imperial.ac.uk Imperial College London / http://www.icparc.ic.ac.uk/eclipseReceived on Thu May 06 17:35:12 2004
