[Mageia-discuss] boinc and glibc

[blind Pete]

Is anybody using BOINC? http://http://boinc.berkeley.edu/  

The version on their website is slightly newer than the 
version in Mageia2's repository, but it complains about 
a glibc problem.  

Is it sensible to try and install a different glibc?  
Or to link a new number to the existing file?  
Or modify boinc?  
Or use the older version of boinc? 
Or submit an upgrade request?  (How do you do that?)  

[psd at test BOINC]$ ./run_manager
./boincmgr: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by 
./boincmgr)
[psd at test BOINC]$ ll /lib64/libc.so.6

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1883280 Apr 28 13:23 /lib64/libc-2.14.1.so*
[psd at test BOINC]$ rpm -qf /lib64/libc-2.14.1.so
