[NBLUG/talk] binary execution error

[Sean]

I am manually installing software for automatic startup upon boot, and
have finally gotten it to sorta work (explanation below).

I am now getting an error message, upon the execution of the binary
that the init.d script calls, stating "error while loading shared
libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file:
no such file or directory".

My research has led me to the fact that the program I need requires an
older glibc package. When I attempt to emerge an older version, it
fails because it says that the gcc library is outdated or missing. I
have gcc-3.4.6-r1, and I am attempted to emerge down to
glibc-2.2.5-r10 in an attempt to get my software to work. Any ideas
what I need to do to downgrade glibc to 2.2.5-r10? What version of gcc
should I install/downgrade to? That is the lowest version I could find
in portage.

FWIW:

The software I am using is the linux agent for Backup Exec (RALUS),
just in case anyone here is familiar with it. I did read and follow
this post, which helped me to get to this point:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-338300-highlight-backup+exec.html.

And yes, this is something I've been told to do, before we try
alternate backup methods. Backup Exec (Symantec) is not helping with
this, so I have had to put in my own research and time, and now I'm
far beyond my normal level of Linux competence. I have learned a heck
of alot about binaries, init.d scripts and RPM files the last few
days. Backup Exec provides its installs as RPMs (after unpacking a
.tar.gz [thanks alot]), and that obviously does not work w/ gentoo
(remember rc.d anyone?).


Thanks for your help!
