From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: when trying to execute something with winex, it complains of not finding a symbol in glibc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.3.2-27.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install WineX 2.2.1-1 2. try to execute a windows executable with winex 3. it will complain that it cannot find symbol h_errno Actual Results: $ winex /mnt/dvd/Autorun.exe /usr/lib/transgaming/winex/bin/wine: relocation error: /usr/lib/transgaming/winex/lib/libwine.so: symbol h_errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Expected Results: winex should run fine Additional info: I'm using WineX-2.2.1-1, available from transgaming.com this very version of WineX was working fine under RedHat 8.0
h_errno symbol shouldn't ever appear in shared libraries/binaries since gilbc 2.0 days (aplpications which use h_errno are supposed to #include <netdb.h>, where h_errno may (and in glibc case is) be defined as a macro. You can work around this by running the application which has these problems with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 in the environment, see release notes. Alternatively, current CVS wine should work with NPTL just fine too.
