How to check the version of the dynamic linker?
- by netvope
If I run a binary compiled on a newer Linux distro on an older Linux distro, I may get an error like this:
a.out: error while loading shared
libraries: requires glibc 2.5 or later
dynamic linker
How can I check the version of the dynamic linker in a Linux system? Is it provided by a package? If so, what's the name of the package?
And a theoretical question: Is it possible to update the dynamic linker? (I don't think I'm going to do this but I just want to know.)
