samsung ml-1520 install script fails with glibc 2.0 error

[Matthew Yee-King <lists@yeeking.net>]

Hello!

I am attempting to install a samsung ml-1520 usb printer on my debian
etch amd64 system. I have only been able to install this printer on an
i386 system using proprietary drivers in the past, and that is what I am
using now. The thing is that the install script appears to detect a
glibc 2.0 system and fail, telling me to install 2.1 or newer.

I am using  libc6 2.3.6-3 in the amd64 part and  2.3.6-3 in my 32 bit
chroot. I'm running the script from within the amd 64 system, but have
created symlink to /emul/ia32-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 in /lib.

Heres the bit of the script that does the detection:

DetectLIBC()
{
    status=1
	  if [ `uname -s` != Linux ]; then
		  echo "detected glibc-2.1"
		  return $status
	  fi
      if [ -f `echo /lib/libc.so.6* | tail -1` ]; then
	      if fgrep GLIBC_2.1 /lib/libc.so.6* 2> $NULL >> $NULL; then
	              echo "glibc-2.1"
	              status=0
	      else
	              echo "glibc-2.0"
	              status=0
	      fi
      elif [ -f /lib/libc.so.5 ]; then
	      echo "libc5"
	      status=0
      else
	      echo "unknown"
      fi
      return $status
}

Though it is a gtk app that is launched later in the installer that
actually fails with the 2.0 problem- but this script detects a glibc 2.0
so I'm guessing it  has the same problem as the gtk app.

How might I convince this script I have a 2.1 glibc? Is it somehow
testing my 32 bit emualted glibs and seeing it as version 2.0?

cheers
