Thanks Roberto. Actually, I am running Potato. Is there any way I can get around this or do I have to upgrade to Woody? Ben.
Here are your options: 1. install a new libc in an alternate location (e.g., /opt/lib) and set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other necessary envorinment variables prior to compilation. [Assessment: this can be complicated; the toolchain in Potato may not support compiling a more recent libc; you become responsible for security support] 2. set up a Woody chroot on your machine. [Assessment: this is not too difficult as there are automated tools to help you do this; security support exists for Woody] 3. upgrade to Woody. [Assessment: this is the riskiest one; if your system Just Works(TM) and you fear breaking it, this may be more than what you want] -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
