Hey, I need help installing glibc2.1, I'm trying to install a game that is compatible with linux (Wolfenstein - enemy territory) and when I attempt to install, it fails, saying that it failed because glibc2.1 isn't installed, it offers a troubleshooting website, however it didn't help me solve the problem. Any help on getting glibc2.1 installed is greatly appreciated.

Here is a picture of the console:

Somewhat similar and a bit of an answer about 'installing' glibcx.x (which you don't do) is here

In your case, if running hardy, intrepid or jaunty go in terminal


sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2

and take it from there

You may want to watch out going sudo -s too often, this would be good


sudo ~/Desktop/et-linux-2.55.x86.run
