Installing SW asking me to update GLIBC..HELP!

Hi,

I am trying to install OpenFT and got the following message:


usmlva0001tsrv:/mnt/iso/linuxi64 # ./install.all
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6.1()(64bit) is needed by PCMX-6.0A90-05.ia64
libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by PCMX-6.0A90-05.ia64
libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)(64bit) is needed by PCMX-6.0A90-05.ia64
libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1)(64bit) is needed by PCMX-6.0A90-05.ia64
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by PCMX-6.0A90-05.ia64
error: Failed dependencies:
icmx is needed by openFT-11.0B00-62.ia64

The current version of GLIBC has the following version:

usmlva0001tsrv:/mnt/iso/linuxi64 # /lib/libc.so.6
GNU C Library stable release version 2.11.1 (20100118), by Roland McGrath et al.
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.


My version of Suse:


SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1


My questions are:

It is safe to update the GLIBC?
Any special procedure to update the GLIBC?
Something I need to be worry about?

Hi 300zxmuro, let's see:

1. upgrading any library should be a careful step. Being glibc, even more if you usually compile software.

2. I would say to use the zypper command to check

3. also at the first answer.

Hope it helps.
