I have done several searches on the net for answers, but as of yet, I
haven't found them. I hope that someone here can point me in the right
direction.
I have a program compiled under RedHat 6.0 (glibc2) that won't run under
Slackware 4.0 (libc5) due to an imcompatibility in the getpwnam() library
call. Is there a list of such problems available?
The program also has the same incompatibility with RedHat 5.2, which uses
glibc2, but I understand it is an older version of glibc2. Is there an
easy way to determine the version of glibc2 that is on a system, and is
there a list of known incompatibilities between versions?
TIA.
