Re: [CentOS-devel] libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit) is needed but I cannot find it in CentOS 5.2

The workaround that I found is to add the following line to the spec file: "provides: libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit)" I guess that there should be a better solution for that. Any idea?

Adding the Provides: "works", but is likely going to cause pain if/when you distribute your package.

rpmbuild filters GLIBC_PRIVATE Provides: because "You're not supposed to use GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols."

There's a macro to disable the Provides: filtering; see either the glibc.spec file, or examine rpm sources. I'll leave the exercise to you, because you really ought not to use GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols.
