Dear Team

I am getting this error. I cannot scp any data from the server giving this error to any other server.

scp: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by scp)

Linux 2.6.23.8-34.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Nov 22 23:05:33 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


i have not done any updates ...

Please help....

From what I can determine Fedora 7 has glibc-2.6. If you have not done any updates which have not been available since 2008 has scp ever worked? glibc-2.8 was not used until Fedora 9. You have not made any changes to the system at all since 2007?

glibc is a common to many applications and if you upgrade for scp you could break everything else.

The current version is Fedora 14 and if possible I suggest you install it.

Hi
thanks for the reply.
It is correct that i have not updated till date, and neither i have made any changes to the system, it was working ok , just yesterday i found that it was giving the error, i do use it on regular basic .

any other suggestions other then upgrading to Fedora 14.

Looking for a favourable reply...

post the output of the command
ls -l /lib/libc*

output ....

It looks as expected. So something has been changed, updated or modified.

Thanks for the reply...

As per my knowledge, their has been no updates done or modified, as i only one look after this server.......

Can you advice what changes is the cause of this error, so that i can have a look at that....
