Old libc

[wargamer]

Is there any chance RC3 could be linked against libc 2.5 and posted? I know, I know, it's old but I can't easily upgrade to a newer version.
It would be sincerely appreciated

Well, I didn't change the libs really. We are using cURL libs for auto-update which may mean that cURL is using newer libs which I'm not really able to change.

Why can't you update?

From what I've read updating your libc under CentOS 5 is very hard to do and might break the OS.
It will only detect it's missing that dependency when it has almost fully started. By which I mean that if I don't load the server.cfg, it will start fine but as soon as I do it will generate the following:

Load of "/opt/mohaa/MOHAA_scrim/fgameded.so" failed!
Reason: "/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /opt/mohaa/MOHAA_scrim/fgameded.so)".

Well, I think you don't have to update it, you should be able to have both versions. LD should find them if they are either in your /usr/lib or /lib/ .

You should also be able to download the libs to separate folder and execute MoHAA like this:

LD_PRELOAD="/home/newglibc/libc.so.6" ./whatever/mohaa_lnxded +exec server.cfg

Can't seem to get it to work. First I managed to download a 64 bit version which gave me a Wrong ELF error.
And now, after making sure it's 32 bit, I'm running into this error when plainly running "./mohaa_lnxded +exec server.cfg":

error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

That is without LD preloading it. With it, the following is said:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libc.so.6' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. 

It is properly symlinked though:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 12 14:27 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.7.so 

So I'm stuck, any suggestions Razo? Or anyone else for that matter
