But for this particular hardware, it would be difficult to upgrade the core operating system’s glibc as novell hasn’t blessed a version of glibc > 2.11.1. Also, using an upgraded dynamic/shared version of glibc seems to produce incompatibilities with core operating systems commands. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, is it possible to build python against a static version of glibc?&nbs
p; I’ve tried installing a static glibc 2.12 on a different machine, then configuring python with ‘configure –disable-shared --with-libc=/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a’. python builds but an ldd still seems to think the resulting executable depends on libc.so.6.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ve tried google but found nothing concrete.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ben<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
