I've just upgraded my testing distribution which installed libc6-2.3.1. Now, one of my apps (a daemon that uses sockets (I guess)) isn't working anymore. That is, the daemon starts and appears to be running normally with no errors in the log, but none of the clients can attach to it: they all give "can't find ..." errors.
My suspicion is that its the new libc which needs to be recompiled. However, the app is proprietary so I don't have the source to recompile it. What I'd like to do is run it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or whatever) set to use a different, older libc. I've downloaded the stable libc6 (2.1.3) and use dpkg-deb -x to extract it... but this doesn't work because of ld-linux.so.2 or something: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/src/old-libc/lib:/lib app app: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/src/old-libc/lib/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_debug_impcalls, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference Anyone have any hints or help for me?
