elaunch error

[tyme]

[mark@prajna eClient]$ ./elaunch
./elaunch: relocation error: ./elaunch: undefined symbol: __tic

any ideas why i'm getting this error?

running on an Arch Linux system. i've downloaded the eClient installer twice now with the same result.

Let me guess Gentoo?

Try "emerge lib-compat"

You dont have the compatibility libraries installed

running on an Arch Linux system

might have to use pacman, as opposed to portage's emerge?

Looks like Arch doesnt have any compatibility with even older revisions of itself... So it looks like you are in for a bit of fun.... (As far as www.distrowatch.com shows)

You need a copy of libstdc++-libc6.2 (BINARY) that probably came with the "Firefly" release. (0.3) The client is build with GCC 2.96 (RH 7.3) with GLIBC 2.2.5... This is before the great GCC 3.x C++ upheaval...

I MAY be able to provide you a copy of the binary library if really needed, although then I have to did up the source to be legal... (Not that you could build the same binary with GCC 3.x :-) )

Note: That any binaries that I give would be from a Redhat 7.3 system. (Too many people havent updated to GCC 3.x based systems) /me pines for the days when GCC 2.x is dead forever.

thanks for the info, gives me some starting points :) i'll probably try and work it out later tonight...(at work right now)

Looks like no one read the following advisory (http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html ) which was pretty clear and made the headlines of all regular channels for years now. :mad:

So what? GCC 2.95.3 had HORRIBLY broken C++ exception handling. Like it or not, I would prefer something that generated at least NON-HORRIBLY broken code. Either way, bitch and complain about my use of compilers all you want but it STILL doesnt change the fact that he needs libstdc++ from an older version than GCC 3.x.
