GLIBC_2.30

[rych]

Apparently I need the new GLIBC_2.30 on my Porteus 4, see the error below when I try to run Waterfox Classic. I think the system glic is 2.27. And I hope I don't have to replace it as it could break other things. Or is it okay to replace? Can I put it next to the waterfox binary so that it picks it up over the system glibc?

So, please advise and/or link me to a GLIBC_2.30 module for Porteus 4 if possible. Thanks!

could try this appimage maybe:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... mirrorlist

as you say, installing glibc-2.30 might be problematic.. there is one way to find out
glibc-2.30
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... 6_64-1.txz
and maybe glibc-solibs-2.30 (or not)
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... 6_64-1.txz
txz2xzm them , activate and see what happens..

Hi rych,
this version (waterfox-classic-2020.01-11.1) works for me:

http://opensuse.mirror.liquidtelecom.co ... 4.AppImage

GLIBC_2.30 is not required.

ncmprhnsbl, thanks, I used your link and txz2xzm glibc-2.30. Activated the module. Waterfox runs well and no other programs have broken so far, although I suspect I essentially updated (some parts of) the system GLIBC. If something fails I can always deactivate the glibc-2.30-x86_64-1.xzm and try some of the AppImage binaries (Thank you Kulle, also). But it'd be nice to have this simple glibc module "patch" as it should enable me to run some other modern programs I couldn't before.

By the way, do you happen to know which Glibc version does the new Porteus 5.0 run on?

if you mean RC1, then i think is 2.29
the next release will be 2.30 (or newer, depending on upstream)
