Why a specific gcc runtime is needed?

[Lin George]

Hello everyone,


Why running a program on a specific platform (Linux), there are runtime errors which mentions that specific LIBC runtime version is required (for example, GLIBC_2.3.3).

I think C runtime should be compatible (means using one version of gcc to build a program, it should be able to run on platform which contains another version of gcc runtime). I am not sure whether this error is caused by some wrongly used compile/link options (which binds this program to specific C runtime version)?


thanks in advance,
George
