master-pdf-editor: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by master-pdf-editor)

[rolf]

I am running an installation of ROSA release 2012.0 (LTS) for x86_64.

Several times, when I try to build or install a software that is fairly current, I get a failed dependency on glibc-2.14. There is glibc-2.13-7 in LTS. In 2012.1, there is glibc-2.15-8. For this particular software, there is an rpm and the requires show:

BTW, I also run into rpm version dependency failures but glibc is all that is reported, at first, when I try to install this rpm.

I wonder, if I had 2012.1 with glibc-2.15-8, would GLIBC_2.14 be satisfied by some backwards compatibility? I see various older glibc versions in the requires and that seems to suggest backward compatibility but idk.

If 2012.1 would satisfy glibc requirements for this and other such softwares, is it possible to just switch media sources to 2012.1 and update with urpmi?

is it possible to just switch media sources to 2012.1 and update with urpmi?

No, by various reasons. Only clean installation. If your hardware is ok for Fresh (aka 2012.1), just install it.

[rolf]

just install it.

Ok, thanks for the instruction.
