MORE... Further to my previous message. I saw the "obvious" solution, downloaded the glibc.2.1.3 deb file, and used dpkg-deb -x package directory to extract its contents.
This has given me the libraries i neded, however it seems that I also need a file libc_nonshared.a Is this a special generated by Oracle, or is it in another package?
