glibc2 is the latest. If you are running a recent version of Debian, this what you want. I'm running 2.1 and glibc2 is the one I go for. > LIBC5 distribution (for Slackware) > IglooFTP-PRO-0.9.1-linux-ix86-libc5.tar.gz libc5 is an older library than glibc2. Probably only for Debian versions older than 2.0 (such as 1.3.1). > RPM package (for RedHat, Mandrake, etc.) > IglooFTP-PRO-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm You could install this one with alien or whatever, but I wouldn't know whether this one would use glibc2 or libc5 libraries, so I can't say much more. > Though I'm completely unfamiliar with the other two packages (GLIBC2 & > LIBC5) so I have no clue what I need to do to make them debian-friendly. > I'm guessing they are a form of the C programming language, which are not > installed on my debian version.

I think it is safe to say the program is written in C, but beyond that I don't know. I think you can do OK without having to learn too much C programming. Can't say for sure as I am (slowly) learning C. Hope this helps, Patrick
