About libc6 problem

[Simosito]

From an old message on this ML:

> we are facing some problem while running our application on
>different versions of Linux.
>we have 2 different types of Linux boxes , one older with gcc-3.2.3 and another newer with gcc-3.4.6

They had troubles with some shared libraries

From PyInstaller FAQ:
>[Under Linux] the executable [...] still depends on the system libc

From the same discussion:

>finally we are able to solve it,
>the solution was to avoid packing the libc.so.6 in the executable so
>that it searches for it in the client machine and uses the version it
>finds there

So, why PyInstaller doesn't use the method by Rishi Khare?

I'm just a bit curious.

I hope someone will answer soon.

I have had a similar problem to the one with message is referencing,
slightly different error message though, that their method does not
solve for me.

>> relocation error: /tmp/_MEI27876/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_out_of_memory, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

The program was built on a computer with Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5, GCC
4.0.3. I get the error message on a cluster with Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1
and GCC 4.1.2, and it works on a cluster with Red Hat 3.4.5-2, GCC
3.4.5. Not sure the linux Kernal versions.

Has anyone had a similar problem that they have managed to solve or
does anyone have any tips. Thank you.
