Hi Mojca,

I recently installed the *tex binaries from the ConTeXt minimals in order to test some stuff with a recent luatex, and just ran into the following problem:

mpg@roth:~% pdftex --version pdftex: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by pdftex

I have no problem with the luatex executable from the minimals, nor with the pdftex executable from TL'08.

I'd be happy to provide any information you need about the problem if you tell me what you want to know (no idea about how to investigate this myself).

Hello Manuel, thanks a lot for your feedback. Apparently I have given green light for building the binaries on the wrong machine (not compatible with sligthly older linux). Sorry Luigi, I had to do svn merge -r 370:369 . svn merge -r 368:366 . Karl just gave us access to the same machine that is used to compile TeX Live binaries (debian sarge), but due to lack of rsync and svn I had troubles trying it out and then ran out of time. Arthur - do you have some time to try to make the compilation work there? (We probably need external call of rsync and svn, so the script probably needs to be adapted a tiny bit.) Mojca
