Hi All,

While trying to install libattr on opensuse10-32,I am getting the following error:
opensuse10-32:/BUILDS/HEAD/SOURCE # rpm -ivh libattr-devel-2.4.28-38.i586.rpm libattr-2.4.28-81.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by libattr-2.4.28-81

The OS version is :
opensuse10-32:/BUILDS/HEAD/SOURCE # cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) OSS
VERSION = 10.0

I have already Glibc rpm installed:
glibc-2.3.5-40

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Vivek

Your glibc looks to be too old to run that version of libattr.

Is that on SLE? 10 was a confusing release, they didn’t come to their senses about naming things until 10.2.

The reason I ask is if I remember correctly, 10.2 and below are now end of life.

The easiest thing would probably be to obtain an earlier version of libattr.
