Problem with precompiled software, Insight II, Accelrys

[a_engels]

Hello!

I am hardly trying to get a software - Insight II/Accelrys - running, which is intended to work on Redhat WS 2.1. When we bought the software, we were told, that it should work without problem on Fedora.

My system is Fedora Core 2 and I get the following error message, when I execute a certain module of the package:

./fdiscover: relocation error: /usr/accelrys/I2000.3L/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosymso/libpgthread.so: symbol __libc_sigaction, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

I already tried to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to different values without success.

Redhat WS 2.1 has glibc 2.2.4, Fedora Core 2 has 2.3.3. Is it possible to install 2 version of glibc on the same system? Would it be necessary to recompile all libraries with glibc 2.2.4, which the program uses?

Any comment is appreciated.

Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Alex

Did you sort out the fedora / insightII 2000.3L glibc library incompatibility? I have the same problem and would love the same advise.

Hello all,

So, is there a workaround for the fedora2/insightII incompatibility problem? Is it any better with Fedora3?

Regards,

Still about the insightII/Fedora2 problem,

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.126
compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.126

are already there, but it does not help.

The error message I get is:

*********************************

Loading Insight II using OpenGL graphics ...
/usr/local/accelrys/I2000.3L/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosym_exe/insightII: relocation e
rror: /usr/local/accelrys/I2000.3L/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosymso/libcblib.so: symbol
errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

************************************************** ****

I understood that that the errno variable is defined differently in the latest glibc versions.
Should I just try "downgrade" glibc?
(note that insightII is proprietary software, so no source code ...)

Thanks a lot,

Andrea

If you "downgrade" glibc, you'll break everything else on the system. You may have to use an older version/different distribution to be able to run these programs.

We managed to run insightII on our gentoo system (glibc v. 2.3.5) using older versions of the glibc-library from SuSE 6. After copying the relevant file into a directory, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable must be set in the insightII startup script: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH path_wiht_old_glibc:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
The program is startet by this script with the line:
path_wiht_old_glibc/ld-linx.so.2 insightII $argz

Hope this helps

FInally we managed to fix this problem on our gentoo box. There it is posiible to recompile the glibc library from scratch using the "glibc-compat20" switch:
> # USE="glilb-compat20" emerge glibc

maybe, there is a similar approach possible in fedora?

InsightII 2005 runs on Fedora Core 4 perfectly as long as the required libraries are in place.
