wine users - Apr 2001 - libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)

Hi,
I had this message : 
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)   est n?cessaire pour wine-20010326-1

Where can I get this library ?

Thanks,
J?r?me Bouat

In most cases you should rather get a wine compiled for your
library version. Or get the source and compile it yourself.

Only a few distro allow for an easy upgrading of the glibc.
W ith most distros, trying to install a new glibc will destroy your
system beyond  repair.

Do you have Red Hat?  Which version?

You can get the latest version of Glibc-2.2 at for Red Hat at:

 ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-2.2.2-9.i386.rpm

 ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-common-2.2.2-9.i386.rpm

You need both pieces.

Before you even test for upgrading it, you need to install (DO NOT
Upgrade):

 ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm

Upgrading can be an awful mess.  There will be many dependencies that
you need to satisfy, and mutual dependencies.

Doing it from the command line is not practical.  You should use GnoRPM
so that you can easily install multiple packages at once.

To avoid totally hosing your system, you will need to check your
"/etc/ld.so.conf" file.  If it has these entries, they must be in this
order:

/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib

If they are in a different order, edit it as root and then [as root]
run:

    ldconfig

Be sure to do this before rebooting.
