problem to run QtCreator

[Qqt]

Here are more details for this problem:

Looks like I have to upgrade the glibc libs.

this is a partial output after run /lib/libc.so.6

/lib/libc.so.6
Compiled by GNU CC version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9).
Compiled on a Linux 2.4.20 system on 2008-04-15.

I have downloaded

glibc-2.4.tar.gz (06-Mar-2006)

from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/
but got compile errors when build the package:

Can anyone confirm if I am on the right path? If it is, how can I fix the build error of glibc 2.4? Thank you in advance for help.

hi, Qqt,
just a confirmation,
u r working on 32 bit or 64 bit machine??
if u are working in 32 bit , then qt-creator-linux-x86_64-opensource-2.0.1.bin is a wrong download.

Hello Bala,
Thank you for reply. My machine is 64 bits, as shown below:

Linux lnx_137_1a010 2.6.9-89.0.25.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Apr 19 06:08:56 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have found out the current libc version installed on my Linux:
/lib64 ->% /lib/libc.so.6
GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4

so looks like I have to upgrade to glibc 2.4. Can anyone point out how to fix the build error of glibc 2.4? Thank you.
