Re: [Help-glpk] Linux GLPK library

[Reginald Beardsley]

Unfortunately, the general case is that it will not work.

The reason is that there is skew among the various  Linux distros particularly relative to libc with the result that executables tend to dump core if run on a different distro. This is the reason that commercial software running on Linux has very specific system requirements.

Have Fun!

Does this mean that an executable built, say, under Debian will not work
under other Linuxes like Fedora, even if it is statically linked?
