I'm running a custom, tiny embedded Linux installation that runs kernel 2.6.22.18 and Busybox 1.7.0. It runs an old glibc, 2.5. Well, I need at least 2.7 for Tonido which I want to run. I tried replacing the files and pretty much everything else to 2.10, but Busybox ended up breaking so I had to reflash the OS and I'm back at square one. I think you can define where the system should look for libraries in /etc/ld.so.conf and then run "ldconfig," but the binary isn't present on the system. Do I have any options to having 2 versions of libc, or should I start looking through Tonido's source to have them look for a renamed libc file. ;)

Help? Thanks in advance!

You can install the new version of glibc to a different location, one that's not listed in the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Then add the path to the new version of glibc to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the same shell where you are about to start the program that needs it.

Either that or you could set up a chroot environment.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
