Dear All,
Firstly, many thanks for the hard work put in by the development team :)
Now I have a couple of problems, any help welcome:
1) Some of our software needs linuxthreads (i.e. InsightII) but it's closed source and the writers (Accelrys) are unlikely to respin the code as they want us to move to a different program.
Is there any way of installing another set of glibc libs on centos 5, to allow an old, broken, but uselful program to run?
2) As part of my setup script for centos 4, I add a large list of printers to each workstation by using system-config-printer-tui --Ximport < settings.xml (on my master machine I create the list with system-config-printer-tui --Xexport > settings.xml )
Is there any easy way of automatically adding 15 printers to Centos 5 ?
My thanks for your time,
Jake

You might want to read something about cups broadcasting.

Yes
My thanks for your time,
But now, lets get to the Fact why this is not working. Before Centos 5 there was Cups 1.2 and a Gnome Frontend designed to work with 1.1.
The RH Devs decided it would be easier to fix it with xml transition files than leave the users with the web frontend alone.
Now in Rhel5/Centos5 is a frontend which works directly with Cups 1.2 so there is no need for the xml magic anymore.

Depends which older version you need; the compat-glibc package provides binary compatibility with the n-1 distro:
$ yum info compat-glibc [....] Summary: Compatibility C library Description: This package contains stub shared libraries and static libraries from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. To compile and link against these compatibility libraries, use gcc34 -I /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux4E/include \ -B /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux4E/lib/

Depending on the newness of your CPU, you should be able to run CentOS 2.1 in a guest VM. Would that achieve your ends?
