I have Oracle 8i running on Slackware 7.1. The lib libwtc8.so is linked to /lib/libc.so.6, which is a symbolic link to libc-2.1.3.so. When I run the command "nm -D libc-2.1.3.so | head" I get:

	00000000 A GLIBC_2.0
	00000000 A GLIBC_2.1
	00000000 A GLIBC_2.1.1
	00000000 A GLIBC_2.1.2
	00000000 A GLIBC_2.1.3

	000e3080 D _IO_2_1_stdin_
	000e3140 D _IO_2_1_stdout_
	0005518c T _IO_adjust_column

Notice the "GLIBC_2.0" at the very top. I wonder if this identifier is not available in libc-2.2.x? Try using nm on your libc.so to see if this is the case.

You may need to install an older C library on your system. Received on Fri Jan 25 2002 - 10:45:13 CST
