What to do? > I had the same problem, and yes, there is a glibc-2.3 compatible version: In the directory tree of your installed Mathematica 4.2, there are 4 directories called "Binaries", each containing a subdirectory "Linux" containing Linux binaries which claim to be statically linked but, for some strange reason, seem to be incompatible with glibc-2.3. The installation CD contains, in addition to these "Linux" directories, similar directories called "Linux-dyn", containing dynamically linked binaries which do work with libc-2.3 (well, they work for me, with glibc-2.3.2). You may have to install them manually, as the installation script does not seem to know about them. Then, in order to use the binaries in Linux-dyn, rather than in Linux, you have to change the line sysid=Linux to sysid=Linux-dyn in all your Mathematica startup scripts (typically in /usr/local/bin).
