Hi,

I have an executable which needs to use a library function available
in a higher version of glibc . I also do not have root access to
install a newer version of
glibc in my system. CAn I download a new version of glibc and make the
executable to use the newer version instead of the old one . The error
I am getting is :

 error in loading shared libraries: ./newsplex: symbol
gethostbyname_r, version GLIBC_2.1.2 not defined in file libc.so.6
with link time reference

Thanks,
Prakash
