Re: [ferret_users] Announcing Ferret v6.6.7, a bug-fix release

[Martin Schmidt <martin.schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ansley,
I tried to install Version 6.6.7 at SLES10 but failed. libselinux.so.1 
is missing. I tried to use a the lib from SLES11.
Now I end up with

ferret_v667: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required 
by /linsoft/ferret_v667_64_dynamic/lib/libselinux.so.1)

Indeed, my libc.so.6 is a link to libc-2.4.so with SLES10. With SLES11 
the link is to libc-2.11.1.so.

Is there any chance to benefit from the latest bug fixes at machines 
that are not using the latest system version. Possibly by a more complete
static linking?
We are not able to update the system, because the system management is 
linked with the hardware contract.

Greetings,
Martin Schmidt
