Please be more specific when filling the highest priority issue.
 
What kind of sample do you try to compile, what is the report, log or stack trace of the error, which platform do you
build against, what project type do you use, do you mean Mobility Pack or CDC Pack, etc...

Mobility Pack definitely works without glibc, at least on my computer. However some underlying tools or emulator
platform might depend on some system components.

 

IMHO, this is problem on WTK side - see more details in issue 107633. Please check if these issue are similar. 

I have checked issue 107633, yes they are actually the same. My system is not Ubuntu (it is based on debian etch) 
point does not apply as my system still use glibc-2.3. I have to manually update glibc to 2.5 using slackware libc ge 
(yes it is really a hack to make it work as I urgently need it). It works fine.
The message from WTK team said it is fixed. Not quite sute what get fixed? The mobility pack I used is: 
netbeans_mobility-5_5_1-linux.bin it with stock debian etch, the problem is still there. Many users will be very 
reluctant to upgrade glibc

I'm really sorry but we cannot do anything more with bugs in bundled runtimes (emulators).  We can report it and wait
for bugfix. We are going to re-bundle the fixed version in 6.0. 

The WTK 2.5.2 should be available as separate download soon. You can add to the NB 5.5.1 and use it even without the
hack that is needed now. The Debian is unsupported platform therefore we are not going to verify if the WTK really
works. I'd really appreciate if you could try it when the WTK is available and report us back. If the issue isn't
working we can escalate it with WTK team.

thank you for understanding
