How to upgrade glibc-2.26 to glibc-2.27

English Applications

I have several glibc packages installed from “Main Repo” but I need glibc-2.27 for ‘memfd_create’ function; which is available in glibc-2.27.

I can compile and install glibc and use patchelf --set-interpreter but I will prefer a reliable solution if any. The package is available from a different repo, tried installing it but it will break the system. I wish the openSUSE devel upgrade systemd* to at least 240+ and glibc to 2.32 in future releases. Tumbleweed is not an option for me (I’ve it on my laptop but I don’t want to keep updating my workstation frequently and reboot it often).

Leap 15.3 comes with systemd 246 and gblic 2.31.

Thank you.

openSUSE will stay on the versions shipped when an openSUSE Version is published

5

Figured… I will use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for now.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD?

LD_PRELOAD points to particular libraries and it has the highest priority during runtime library loading.

glibc 2.27 is available for LEAP 15.2, provided by a private repo
