Description of Problem: gnome-dictionary is failing with a gnome-dictionary: relocation error: gnome-dictionary: symbol __ctype_b_loc, version GLIBC_2.3 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.2-5 How Reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gnome-dictionary 2. type something in the word field 3. press "Look Up Word" and watch stderr Actual Results: gnome-dictionary exits Expected Results: a word is looked up Additional Information: I did not really install 8.0 from a cd... I rather only upgraded a bunch of the RPMS manually. Could this be my problem? As a workaround for this problem, I used the gnome-utils srpm to rebuild the binary rpm and reinstalled it. I had no troubles afterwards. gnome-dictionary is not the only program that had this problem. Other packages with this problem include: dia gnome-session
You need to upgrade your libc to the final version.
