I have mentioned this once before. I have even metioned this in the debian irc channel on freenode. I have googled; I have done everything
I know to do. I can make and make install just fine with no errors whatsoever on debian sid. emelfm2 installs just fine; but when I run
it, I get the following error:

emelfm2: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required

by emelfm2)


sorry to hear you still have problems. that's especially strange since i
run debian testing/unstable, too.

try the old binary here:
http://xmixahlx.com/debian/packages/unstable/emelfm2_0.0.8-1_i386.deb
does it work? (it's not made by me)

did you try to change some compile parameters? like the -O3 stuff? or
try to play around with (or remove) the cflags in the Makefile (around
line 96).

can you compile other gtk2 programs and run them?

maybe this is some inconsitency between your build environment and the
actual libs you've installed?

did you try what i suggested in my last email concerning this topic?
install & use a different gcc?



good luck, i hope you can fix your problems.

Ok, there is only one of other thing I can think of that might be causing this problem.Check you Glibc headers.You didn't upgrade glibc did you?I believe that emelfm2 is being built against glibc-2.3.4 but you have a different version installed.Run "ldconfig -V" as root to find out if there is a version mismatch. Possible workaround is to reinstall Glibc-2.3.4.
Is libc.so.6 only found in /lib/tls ? Every distro I've ever used placed it in /lib .

About Gentoo
Unless you have a lot of time on your hands you'd be better off not using it.I've been using it on and off for around 6 years now.Portage is nice in that it downloads the source and builds it to predetermined spec.You are suppose to be able to customize the specs but that isn't always the case.For example , the other day I was trying to install Vlc and the build kept wanting to install kde-libs.I don't use kde and don't want that installed on my system so I told Portage to omit that option during build time.I tried everything I could and it still wanted to build and install kde-libs.Ended up having to build it from source.
Recently had to reinstall Gentoo because I was dumb enough to run "update-world" which updates everything in the system to the latest versions.It took almost 8 hours to complete and when finished There was nothing but problem after problem that I had to face.After fixing a few things I decided it would be best to just backup anything important and start from scratch.It just wasn't worth the time fixing all that those things. Don't think I'll be using Portage for anything other than simple apps from now on.
So why am I still using it?Building the entire distro from source using proper CFLAGS not only is it Faster but is actually more stable.All In all it was either Gentoo or LFS and I didn't feel like tackling LFS again.They also havea really good help forum.Ask a question and you most likely have a useful answer within minutes. Hope that helped. :) 
ldconfig -V
ldconfig (GNU libc) 2.3.2

also libc6 and lib6c-dev-2.3.2.ds1-16 (which are instaled)are the only deb packages I can find.
I have gcc-3.3 installed, do I need to install gcc-3.4?
Thanks for the unbiased info on gentoo
