This is one reason (although not a great reason) for having distro-specific (or glibc-specific) rpms.

Sigh.

I'm not saying we shouldn't make distro-specific rpms if it's really necessary. But it still does not look like something normal and acceptable, to me.

I believe that it is possible to do a glibc detection as part of the rpm install; this may be a cleaner way of resolving the issue - just make the rpm fail to install if it's being installed against the wrong glibc.

Sounds like a good workaround. Anyone sufficiently RPM-savvy to set this up?

At least, can you tell me exactly which version(s) of glibc our static rpms require?
