I do not believe the problem just stems from having foreign libraries in it, as my system is stock Debian and I have a similar problem. No Ubuntu, no knoppix, just straight Debian.
apt-get install (some packages) which pulled in a new libc, I think. Now I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mutt mutt: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by mutt) or this gonzo:/home/csmall# sync sync: relocation error: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference gonzo:/home/csmall# echo /lib/libc* /lib/libc-2.3.2.so /lib/libc-2.5.so /lib/libcap.so.1 /lib/libcap.so.1.10 /lib/libcfont.so.0 /lib/libcfont.so.0.0.0 /lib/libcidn-2.5.so/lib/libcidn.so.1 /lib/libcom_err.so.2 /lib/libcom_err.so.2.1 /lib/libconsole.so.0 /lib/libconsole.so.0.0.0 /lib/libcrypt-2.3.2.so/lib/libcrypt- 2.5.so /lib/libcrypt.so.1 /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libctutils.so.0 /lib/libctutils.so.0.0.0 gonzo:/home/csmall# echo /lib/tls/* /lib/tls/ld-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/tls/libanl-2.3.2.so/lib/tls/libanl.so.1 /lib/tls/libBrokenLocale- 2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libBrokenLocale.so.1 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.2.so/lib/tls/libcrypt- 2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libcrypt.so.1 /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /lib/tls/libdl-2.3.2.so/lib/tls/libdl.so.2 /lib/tls/libm- 2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libm.so.6 /lib/tls/libnsl-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libnsl.so.1 /lib/tls/libnss_compat-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libnss_compat.so.2 /lib/tls/libnss_dns-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libnss_dns.so.2 /lib/tls/libnss_files- 2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libnss_files.so.2 /lib/tls/libnss_hesiod-2.3.2.so/lib/tls/libnss_hesiod.so.2 /lib/tls/libnss_nis- 2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libnss_nisplus-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libnss_nisplus.so.2 /lib/tls/libnss_nis.so.2 /lib/tls/libpthread-0.60.so/lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 /lib/tls/libresolv- 2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libresolv.so.2 /lib/tls/librt-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/librt.so.1 /lib/tls/libutil-2.3.2.so /lib/tls/libutil.so.1 There is something seriously bad going on here with the libraries. I was trying to install libc6 2.5-1 I think it is installed, I cannot tell. The system is toast!
