Only works on RPM-based systems. For any linux system, just run the glibc library as an executable: /lib/libc.so.6 Your mileage may vary, so be prepared to adjust the above command line to fit your situation.

Just loaded a ( what I thought was ) a full ubuntu and knowing nothing about Linux ( only Unix ), there is no rpm. And because the system is not connected to the net ( for good reasons ) the advice given does not work. Surely there is a more general way to find out what version of the system library is being used. What a mess this lib thing is ( for an obvious dummy like me ).
