Dec 28, 2011 Debian User Forums. Skip to content. So I need a little help installing glftpd. I had Debian installed on a remote machine, downloaded glftpd.

You don't have to switch to the unstable to get glib >= 2.14. In fact, the testing branch (now stable, or Jessie) has glib-2.17 which you can pick just adding the testing repository and launching: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev=2.17-7 or, sudo apt-get -t testing install libc6-dev You can add the switch --dry-run to see what will being installed before hand. You can see the status of the glibc package in the (Debian renamed eglibc package to simply from Jessie onwards). You can also just wait for Jessie. In my situation, the error appears when I try to run an application (compiled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) using GLIBC_2.14 on Debian Wheezy (which installs glibc 2.13 by default).

I use a tricky way to run it, and get correct result: • Download and from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS • Run dpkg command to install them into a directory ( /home/user/fakeroot/ for example): $ dpkg -x libc6-dev_2.15-0ubuntu10.6_amd64.deb /home/user/fakeroot/ $ dpkg -x libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.6_amd64.deb /home/user/fakeroot/ • Run your command with specified LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/fakeroot/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ YOUR_COMMAND • My application only uses memcpy() from GLIBC_2. Zip File Opener. 14, and it works. I don't know whether it will work successfully for other applications. I guess there are several options for you to try out the unstable branch 'safely': • Virtualization • whereby you choose an alternative directory as your apparent root directory.
