No, real life intervened. However, I find your answer credible, and when I can get to it I will pursue your line of attack. As that is now who-knows-when, I'll award points now, and close this out.<br />

I have a compiled C program that implicitly attempts to load libc.so.6 when run. When I attempt to run it on a host that I do not have root access to, it complains that it needs a newer version of libc than is present. The host has a symbolic link from /lib/libc.so.6 to /lib/libc-2.3.2.so* and I placed a copy of libc-2.6.1.so in my filespace, made a symbolic link libc.so.6 to it and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the absolute path to the directory containing such, and ran the program again, receiving the same complaint. Is there any way to convince it to load the library in my filespace and not the system one that I cannot touch?<br />

How can I override the version of the C library loaded by a compiled program without source with no root access?

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.

Linux OS Dev

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
