qd update broken?

[parkut]

I find QD-TOOLS to be very useful, on my linux systems, it extracts
all sorts of useful information about work units. There was an update
today, downloaded and now it's reporting an error.

./qd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./qd)

My CentOS systems are updated to the most recently released patches
The installed glib is ver 2.5

Can this be easily fixed?

You can recompile qd, source and Makefile are provided in the tarball, unpack it and run make from inside the unpacked directory. Or compile qd manually:

Code: Select all

gcc -Wall -s -lm -O2 -DSYSTYPE=0 -o qd source/qd/qd.c

The configure script (automatically run by make) contains bashisms, so if /bin/sh is a link to dash link recent Debian & Ubuntu releases you need to change the shebang to #!/bin/bash

The bashisms have been fixed in qd-tools v2.6.7, and I've recompiled the qd binaries. The Linux binary is now compiled on Debian Squeeze, so compiles against eglibc 2.11.2, this one may work for you now too.

THANKS! I will save the information for the next time I need it. You are a life saver!

# retrieve latest qd.c

rm -f qd.c

wget http://linuxminded.xs4all.nl/software/q ... ce/qd/qd.c

# then recompile

gcc -Wall -s -lm -O2 -DSYSTYPE=0 -o qd qd.c

You can skip the rm if you let wget overwrite the file

Code: Select all

wget http://linuxminded.xs4all.nl/software/qd-tools/source/qd/qd.c -O qd.c

And if you prefer to use IPv6, you can replace linuxminded.xs4all.nl with linuxminded.nl which also has an AAAA record in the DNS.

Nice. I just recently got an IPv6 tunnel with a subnet up and running.

I've found out that compiling qd with -D_GNU_SOURCE allows the binary build on Debian Squeeze to run on CentOS 5 too.

So I've updated the qd update script to use this, and packaged it all up in the second release of qd-tools today: v2.6.8
