Now this really is a problem.

Using Informix 7.3 (4gl, IDS, esql, fourjs (3.20), RDS) on SuSE Linux
9.1 with kernel 2.6 and gcc 3.3.3

Error: __GLIBC__2.0 not supported, while support for them IS present
in glibc. As a result 4gl no longer compiles, nor does FourJs. Funny
thing: RDS has NO problems at all.

Setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.1 helps a little bit, as does
__POSIX2_VERSION_=1999... but not enough,

Very small program:
main
define lc_name char(50)
open window wrtest1 at 10, 10 with 4 rows, 60 columns attribute
(border)
prompt "Give a name: " for lc_name
display lc_name
close window wrtest1
end main

results in all kinds of toupper, tolower 'not defined' errors and
undefined function calls.

ANYBODY have ANY idea how I can solve this (short of no longer being
able to use Informix-4gl on Any future >2.6 kernel without buying the
things again?

Art, any suggestions here?

How about using Google to search this group's archives and read
my bitch-fest about it starting about a year ago with the release
of Red Hat Linux 9.

All well explained in gruesome detail by me in Google's usenet archive
of this group.

Short of "purchase a maintenance contract so that you can just go to
the Passport Advantage site and download the latest csdk and 4gl
programs that work with a glibc with NPTL"? No.
