Hello Friends!
I have Rocky 8.4, and have an interest in reading djvu files. To that end, I found djviewer
I see that the djvulibre website http://djvu.sourceforge.net/
lists djview4 ( DjVuLibre: Open Source DjVu library and viewer ) as an improved viewer
Further, for Fedora/RHEL we have a binary package - djview4-4.12-3.fc35 | Build Info | koji
When installing this, I ran into dependencies issue. The following are missing in my case
[root@galileo Software]# rpm -Uhv djview4-4.12-3.fc35.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc >= 2.33.9000-43.fc35 is needed by djview4-4.12-3.fc35.x86_64
libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5.15)(64bit) is needed by djview4-4.12-3.fc35.x86_64
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.34)(64bit) is needed by djview4-4.12-3.fc35.x86_64
libdjvulibre.so.21()(64bit) is needed by djview4-4.12-3.fc35.x86_64
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.29)(64bit) is needed by djview4-4.12-3.fc35.x86_64
I have checked my glibc version
[root@galileo Software]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.28-151.el8.x86_64
My question is: Can I update glibc and install above dependencies and continue to run Rocky without any clashes in dependencies etc.? I have seen some webpages indicating updating glibc should be OK since versions are supposed to be backward compatible, but I thought I will ask here anyway.
Thanks!
