Maple6 runs just fine with the glibc2.1 provided by Debian2.2. It does not use the libraries distributed with it at all. See the last mail for details. > Your shit out of luck. Just keep using the libs that came with it, or > downgrade to potato glibc. Thats my problem. I do not want to downgrade to the potato glibc because I want to use some of the woody stuff. (O.K., I can compile these programs myself...) So I changed LD_LIBRARAY_PATH to the libraries that were distributed with Maple. ldd shows that Maple uses the old libraries. (see my first mail for details). But Maple still crashes. I do not really understand why it still crashes. The only thing I updated was libc6 and of course the packages libc6 depends on. Is it possible that Maple crashes because libc6 provides a new version of ld-linux.so.2? Thats the only lib I cannot change with LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I do really need Maple for University and I do not want to keep Potato only because of Maple? So do you a way arround that? Do you know how I can use Maple with the new glibc2.2? Is there any way that Maple uses the old libs and all other programms uses the new ones? Thanks in advance, Michael
