Linux TBB 1.0.17 no longer works on glibc 2.7 distros
From [http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Nov-2010/msg00176.html]:
Just upgraded from Tor Browser Bundle 1.0.14 to 1.0.17 for Linux i686, running on Debian lenny/5.0.6. Getting glibc errors:
Launching Tor Browser Bundle for Linux in /path/to/tor-browser_en-US ./App/vidalia: /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version
GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by /path/to/tor-browser_en-US/Lib/libQtGui.so.4) ./App/vidalia: /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version
GLIBC_2.10' not found (required by /path/to/tor-browser_en-US/Lib/libQtNetwork.so.4) ./App/vidalia: /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by /path/to/tor-browser_en-US/Lib/libQtCore.so.4)Current installed version of glibc is 2.7 (standard Debian version). I guess this reflects a change in the build environment for TBB?
The Linux TBB changelog lists “Rebuild everything against an older glibc so it'll run on more distros” as the only change in Linux TBB 1.0.7, and none of the later changelog entries mention glibc, so I assume this is a bug.
