Maple6 runs just fine with the glibc2.1 provided by Debian2.2. It does
not use the libraries distributed with it at all. See the last mail
for details.

Thats my problem. I do not want to downgrade to the potato glibc
because I want to use some of the woody stuff. (O.K., I can compile
these programs myself...)

So I changed LD_LIBRARAY_PATH to the libraries that were distributed
with Maple. ldd shows that Maple uses the old libraries. (see my first
mail for details). But Maple still crashes. I do not really understand
why it still crashes. The only thing I updated was libc6 and of course
the packages libc6 depends on.

Is it possible that Maple crashes because libc6 provides a new version
of ld-linux.so.2? Thats the only lib I cannot change with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I do really need Maple for University and I do not
want to keep Potato only because of Maple? So do you a way arround
that? Do you know how I can use Maple with the new glibc2.2? Is there
any way that Maple uses the old libs and all other programms uses the
new ones?

Thanks in advance,
Michael
