How to upgrade glibc 2.14 to 2.15 on openSUSE 12.1 (i586)?

[Zxoch]

Dear all,

I am trying to install OpenNI lybraries but I've got the following error:

Installing OpenNI
****************************
copying shared libraries...OK
copying executables...OK
copying include files...OK
creating database directory...OK
registering module 'libnimMockNodes.so'.../usr/bin/niReg: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libOpenNI.so)



I've obtained some possible required data from the following commads:
# rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-devel-static-2.14.1-14.27.1.i686
glibc-devel-2.14.1-14.27.1.i686
linux-glibc-devel-3.1_rc5-7.1.1.noarch
glibc-2.14.1-14.12.2.i686
glibc-locale-2.14.1-14.12.5.i586

# more /etc/SuSE-release:
openSUSE 12.1 (i586)
VERSION = 12.1
CODENAME = Asparagus

I guess that I should upgrade glibc 2.14 to 2.15!
I will be so pleased to read some instructions to make that upgrade.

Thanks in advance,
zx.

PLease, put your several comuter text parts between CODE tags: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/i...ags-guide.html

We can now not see what is your story and what are the facts from the computer.

Also you say "I am trying to install", but you do not explain how you are trying that. There are many ways of "installing" (it is a generic word in English), varying from using Yast/zypper (which repo?) via rpm and builfing/installing to direct copying of files.

Don't.

+1
You're most likely going to screw up your system ... and your next post will be: How do I restore the previous version of glibc?

Rather why does not my system work, what do I do. >:-)

and tell us the exact link where you have the software from, since that
looks like a binary installer and I see only one for ubuntu.
If you compile from source you should never get a dependency on a
library version you don't have.

Thanks for your kind replies, I have read that I must not do it, and I think I am going to follow your advice.
Maybe, I have to try with an Ubuntu distribution.

Let me just share the following information that is asked in the last replied threat.
I am trying to Install OpenNI from a compressed file which is available at: simple-openni - A simple OpenNI wrapper for processing. - Google Project Hosting.
The file is: OpenNI_NITE_Installer-Linux32-0.27.zip - simple-openni - Installer OpenNI/NITE Linux32 0.27 - A simple OpenNI wrapper for processing. - Google Project Hosting

Thanks again! That is why I love opensource software community, because there is always someone who could help you.
Sorry for my vague idea of install.

That is a different software than what I found when googling for so
forget my comment about the ubuntu package.
You could try to simply compile it yourself from source, then it will
most likely work with your system

Just to add, if you have access to Ubuntu it needs to be 12.04 to have
glibc 2.15 or you can try on openSUSE 12.2 in a few weeks.
If you are adventurous try the current 12.2 release candidate it has
glibc 2.15.
