<DIV>>I entered the command vlc (with no switches) at the root prompt and got
the<BR>>error message:<BR>><BR>> vlc:
/lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required
by<BR>>vlc)<BR>><BR>>This file was in the list of failed
dependencies. In my system, file search<BR>>shows this file located in
/lib. Once again, I am baffled. What should I<BR>>do to correct
this (and the other "missing" files that I expect to show up,<BR>>that are
not really missing.)?<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Okay, try updating to glibc 2.3.2. It's included with Red Hat 9, but
<BR>you can get the file individually from the net.<BR><BR>Jason

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jason,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I really appreciate your help on this. I need
some aid understanding what the problem is,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hopefully to avoid similar problems down the
road.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The "missing file" already is present on my
system. (FYI, my RH8 system appears to have</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>glibc 2.2.93) Does glibc 2.3.2 contain a
different version</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of libpthread.so.0? or is my libpthread.so.0
merely in the wrong directory (/lib)? If that is the case,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>how can I determine what directory vlc expects to
find it in? Can't I just copy the file there, or put in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a link?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I can understand what the underlying problem is
with this file, maybe I can solve the similar</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>problems with the other failed dependency files (at
least some of them).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks again,</FONT></DIV>
