While generating an MPEG animation on Novell SuSE Linux 9.2 I get the following error message:

mpeg_encode: relocation error: mpeg_encode: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

How to solve this?

Hi

ap :-D

mpeg_encode is a seperate utility supplied with fluent, but exists in some linux systems anyway.

Maybe there is some conflict? Do you have more than one mpeg_encode on your system? If not, maybe you could build it from source, and replace the fluent supplied version?

Thank you for your answer.

I don't have mpeg_encode on my system, but I'm going to install it from source, as you suggested.

I can't say I know much about Novell SuSE, but it sounds like a problem with the libc installation?

If you run ldd on mpeg_encode, you can see which libraries it uses (which isn't much):

$ ldd /var/opt/pkg/Fluent.Inc/contrib/lnx86/mpeg_encode

and on my debian system, I can see the symbol above with:

$ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6 | grep errno

libc6 is pretty standard, but I notice that debian has a seperate libc6-i686 package (which I don't have installed) that includes the following warning:

WARNING: Some third-party binaries may not work well with these libraries. Most notably, IBM's JDK. If you experience problems with such applications, you will need to remove this package.

Just a thought.

I can't replace that library because many applications uses it.

However, I solved by saving the animation as PPM images, converting them in jpeg and generating a mpeg using mencoder.

Thanks again,

ap
