Hi guys,

Has anyone tried to install IBM Lotus Symphony, IBM's new version of OpenOffice?:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2186685,00.asp

The .bin complains that it needs glibc v2.4, but Debian Etch has only v2.2. Would it be a bad idea to install v2.4?

My error message:

Code:

./IBM_Lotus_Symphony_Linux.bin:

/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found

(required by ./IBM_Lotus_Symphony_Linux.bin)

Apparently Ubuntu people are installing Symphony with a couple of tweaks:

(Yes, I have desk effects off, like the page says.) This is a major app release, so I was just wondering.

Thanks, a.

You would need Lenny/Sid or current Ubuntu for that deb. For Etch you need another one.

Translation, please?

The software you want to use was compiled against a newer glibc than etch has. Therefore it does not work.

ahh I see, Kano. Shame that Symphony will not work on ThorHammer at least not yet. Not sure if there is or will be a build for Etch.

Did you ask?

Kano: DeepDayze is doing what is referred to as "joining the discussion."

If it seems strange that someone would start speaking without permission, maybe it's because you're married...? Lachen

Kano: I inquired with IBM as to the availability of a Symphony build for debian etch. At this point one is not planned...but still is under consideration. If I hear anything will post a response.

@Anvilhead: Thought I'd contribute where I can Smilie
