Topic: glibc 2.5

[countzero]

Trying to run Vembu StoreGrid on my SME 7.4 box (latest updates installed as of today).
StoreGrid requires mysql-server-5.1.39-0
mysql-server-5.1.39 requires rtld
rtld comes with glibc.2.5 or higher.
My SME server is using glibc.2.3.4.2.43

"rpm -e --nodeps glibc" to make way for a higher version rpm is not a good idea.  Tried it once, don't go there.  glibc = C libraries = required by 90% of your server = wipe it, and you won't be able to start/repair your server.  It's like removing the engine of a running car.

Soooo....how do I get my SME 7.4 box upgraded to glibc.2.5 ???

(Don't say php/mysql 5 / glibc 2.5 is not supported...I want to run Vembu Storegrid...)

Case closed.

Need to wait for SME 8 (or install the current development distro on a new test box)

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
SME Server Version 8 will be the next major version of SME Server, and will involve upgrading the base to CentOS 5. SME Server 8.0beta4 is based on CentOS 5.3.

CentOS 5.3 has glibc-2.5+

SME Server 8.0beta4 is well advanced and all basic functionality appears to work.
If you need the newer rpm versions then I suggest using v8.
Many people are using it already without any serious problems.

well, use SME8 or use another distro
and, please, "I would like to run Vembu..." sounds better, thank you
