i want to run crossover office on my amd64/gentoo system. when i run the crossover install script (from codeweavers), i get an error:
Code:
$ sh install-crossover-office-2.1.0.sh
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing CrossOver Office....................................................................................................
............................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................
..............................................................................................................
......................................................................

This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / x86


so i went to read support forums at codeweavers web site. i learned that there are some issues with wine and glibc 2.3.2. so i decided (BIG MISTAKE) to downgrade my glibc. i have an ebuild for glibc 2.3.1, so i build it.

this broke emerge and god knows what else
Code:
$emerge -s anypackage
/usr/bin/python: /lib64/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/bin/python)


is there somebody out there who would consider taring up the files i need for glibc-2.3.2? i would be very grateful.

any other suggestions?

i am realizing now that this problem is drastic. i can't do any work on my pc--everything depends on glibc. i can't even read man pages.

i am afraid to close my web browser, for fear that i won't be able to restart it.

Possible Solution:
so i am wondering if i should boot of of the livecd, mount my gentoo partition, and run boostrap.sh.
would this fix my glibc? would there be other side effects?

help. i think i'm drowning here...

get the livecds that have the compiled binaries, then just yank glibc from there and extract it

thanks angrybob,

But I'm not sure how to do that. How do I figure out exactly which files to "yank". I suppose that glibc is a long list of /lib and /usr/lib files.

'emerge' is broken, but 'tar' and 'gzip' still work. So if I had a gzip file that actually extracted the glibc to the right place in the file system, that would probably get me back in place. But I don't know where I can find a glibc binary package.

there should be something like "glibc-someversion.tbz2" try extracting it to /tmp. I think you can then just copy all the libs into /usr/lib or wherever they go and it should work

if it doesnt work then I can zip up my version of glibc (2.3.2-r9) and give it to you, I compiled it with "-march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -Os", maybe you have a different system though...

Well u didn't have to downgrade ur glibc , u just needed to extract crossover office with paramter --target <ur directory here> and then edit setup.sh and edit function, that returns glibc version and tweak it so that it returns 2.1.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, but can't see where I need to edit the file.

Could you tell me what I'm looking for.

Cheers

p.s I can post the code for setup.sh if that will help
