How do I install glibc 2.12 in ubuntu 12.04?
glibc, ubuntu
Solution
maybe I can install another glibc in my machine.
You can; details here.
EDIT:
that post ... doesn't mention how to install the new glibc
The "regular" way:
./configure --prefix=/usr/glibc-2.12 && make && sudo make install
Problem
I have a 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 installation， with a glibc version 2.15, but the machine I need to run on has a glibc version 2.12, when I ran the program compiled on my own machine on the target machine, it gave me an error: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found. It is impossible to upgrade the target machine's glibc, so I think maybe I can install another glibc in my machine. Until now, I have tried to downloaded the source of glibc2.12 to make and make install, but I got some syntax error in the source, maybe it's because that the version of my gcc is higher than glibc2.21 needs. And now I am trying to install a older distribution by chroot way, but I have not made it. Do you have some proposals? Thank you.
