Description of Problem: Newest RPMs of glibc and glibc-common cause VMware installation to fail on network configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.2.5-30, glibc-common-2.2.5-30, glibc-2.2.5-32, glibc-common-2.2.5-32 How Reproducible: Install Skipjack beta 2 and use update agent to install all available updates. Then try to install VMware Workstation 3.1. VMware configuration fails when finding available networks for NAT, etc. Searching USENET, I found a suggestion to downgrade to glibc found on Skipjack CD (2.2.5-30)- this fixed the problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Skipjack Beta 2 2. Apply all updates using Update Agent 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
The same problem (relocation error, missing symbol: atexit) also occurs if you try to run the Citrix ICAClient and the Veritas NetBackup Linux client. The problem went away when i downgraded glibc-*-32 to glibc-*-30.
i think these are two different problems. The original bug may be related to bug 62357 The missing "atexit" in the coment above i saw in glibc-2.2.5-32 with several apps, in particular GL related ones (quake3 amongts others), but *upgrading* to glibc-2.2.5-34 cured it (the one with RH 7.3)
What is the statuc of this if you use RHL9 and LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1?
