glibc6 question - plz help!

[Ben Hall]

Jason, were you compiling from source, or trying to use a supplied 
binary?  If it was the latter, I'd guess that the binary was compiled 
from Linux x86.  (Just about everyone assumes you're using Linux on an 
Intel system.)

Glibc (libc6) has been the default for most distributions since about 
1999-2000.

Cheers,

Ben
