More recent glibc for Ubuntu 10.04 ?

[Mel Wilson]

I'm trying to run OpenSCAD under Ubuntu 10.04.  I'm finding that the
pre-built package that installs doesn't support the latest OpenSCAD
features, and the most up-to-date OpenSCAD installed from bare objects
needs advanced versions of glibc.  I'm getting error messages:

/usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad//openscad: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6:
version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required
by /usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad/libQtGui.so.4)
/usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad//openscad: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6:
version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required
by /usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad/libQtCore.so.4)
/usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad//openscad: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6:
version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required
by /usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad//openscad: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6:
version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required
by /usr/local/bin/../lib/openscad/libaudio.so.2)

readelf finds a most recent version of GLIBC_2.11 in that library.

Is there a simple fix for this, or is it time to get a new hard drive
and shift to the latest Debian?  (Not cool with the recent GUI churn,
and don't see the need for my address book to live on Ubuntu One.)

	Thanks,		Mel.
