I don't know about other distributions, but Debian still has libc5 packaged: Package: libc5 ... Description: The Linux C library version 5 (run-time libraries). Includes shared libraries needed to run programs built with libc 5. These libraries are modified to make them work better in a libc6 environment. . In conjunction with the altgcc package, binaries can be built which depend on libc5. . Please note that libc5 is obsolete and only needed for commercial applications. Bugs won't get fixed. I'd imagine other distributions still have some sort of libc5 compatibility libraries still packaged. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin Attachment:
