make curl with different glibc version: unresolved GLIBC_PRIVATE

The distribution glibc version is 2.11.3. I compiled the version 2.22 into /usr/glibc/.

Running make for a new curl version 7.46 I receive this errors:

/usr/glibc/lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `__mktemp@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/usr/glibc/lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `__tfind@GLIBC_PRIVATE'

/usr/glibc/lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `__libc_vfork@GLIBC_PRIVATE'

I am convinced it must be a problem because of the new glibc version but my linux knowledge is too weak to provide the correct path to the new glibc version.

What am I doing wrong? Thx!

Solution

  • There were several issues:

    1. glibc 2.22 - distribution version is 2.11.3
    2. openssl 1.0.2f - distribution version is 0.9.8j [from 2009!]
    3. curl 7.46.0 - distribution version is 7.19.7
    4. libmemcached with active sasl version from distribution

    I am using all these libraries in my CUDA project and due the fact I wanted to update all these libraries to the newest version these steps were to do:

    1. glibc: build into /usr/glibc
    2. openssl: build into /usr/glibc/openssl-curl/. Before run export $LDFLAGS=-L/usr/glibc/lib
    3. curl: run ./configure --prefix=/usr/glibc/openssl-curl/ --with-ssl=/usr/glibc/openssl-curl/ --disable-ldap - very important: $LDFLAGS must be empty when running configure because the script adds the value to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and due the version mismatch of the new glibc and the distribution version all programs crash with segmentation fault. Before make run again export $LDFLAGS=-L/usr/glibc/lib.
    4. For my project I had also to rebuild libmemcached with the new glibc version with this command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libmemcached --disable-sasl

    In CUDA I have to set the path to the new libraries and now all works. It is also very important the linker options -Wl,--rpath=/usr/glibc/lib and -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/usr/glibc/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 are set in order the new glibc version is loaded.

    For my linux system I must not add in /etc/ld.so.conf the path /usr/glibc/lib otherwise the whole system crashes.
