Re: [syslog-ng] glibc 2.0.6

Hi, Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> [20071018 17:53:47 +0200]:

static linking won't work accross different major glibc versions, as syslog-ng uses NSS libraries that have different binary interfaces and can't be linked statically.

you can recompile syslog-ng on an older system that has old glibc.

The only problem you can have is glib and friends as older systems usually have a too old glib version.

Good point, however a possible workaround is: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/FAQ.html#s-2.22 Hopefully that will work for you if syslog-ng will not compile (for whatever reason) against a really old glibc. Cheers Alex
