   I am seeing that e.g. glibc-base is used by like 300 packages.
   If an update is done, it would mean lots of testing...

   The fastest way is probably when you cook your own glibc packages.

   Admittedly the 2.14.1 version is quite old: from 2011

   This is not the answer that you expect, but it will help solve some problems.
   This use LD_LIBRAY_PATH.
   Example for telegram you can take here
   Unpack to $HOME/bin/ and run:
   $ $HOME/bin/Telegram/start-telegram
   Just add glibc+dependence+LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
   The rest of the applications can be done on this sample.
   Most programs allow you to do this.

   I have just installed the Vivaldi browser and have the same problem. Please excuse my ignorance as I'm new to Slitaz (this is day 2) but why is Vivaldi in the repo if there are known dependency issues?

   > why is Vivaldi in the repo if there are known dependency issues?

   Looks like this: there wasn't problems when Vivaldi was added to the repo. Then looks like Vivaldi was updated, and again, and then switched to the new toolchain. Vivaldi — was, but SliTaz — wasn't.

   Looks like older version of Vivaldi should work. But they say using old web browser is very bad idea.

   Just don't use it in the SliTaz Stable or SliTaz Rolling.
   SliTaz Next has newer toolchain and Vivaldi working perfectly there.

   Thanks for your reply. I did live boot Slitaz Next, but I couldn't figure out how to install it...

   Vivaldi 1.10.845.3 (Official Build) dev (32-bit) is installing and running fine under Slitaz 5.

   This is the last version of Vivaldi that is 32 bit and doesn't require glibc 2.15 (Slitaz 5 has glibc 2.14).

   Here are the links for the deb and rpm packages from Vivaldi blog site:

   http s://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/vivaldi-snapshot_1.10.845.3-1_i386.deb
   http s://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/vivaldi-snapshot-1.10.845.3-1.i386.rpm

   Use #tazpkg convert to convert to *.tazpkg and install.

   Thanks very much for this. I downloaded the .deb file and ran tazpkg convert vivaldi-snapshot_1.10.845.3-1_i386.deb.

   I then clicked on vivaldi-snapshot-1.10.845.3-1.tazpkg (in the file manager) and it brought up the tazpkg graphical installer. When the install had completed, I had a menu entry (under "Internet") called "Vivaldi (Snapshot)" and nothing appears to happen when I click on it.

   Where have I gone wrong?

   Thanks again :)

    Hi stroudmw,

    If you run the program in the terminal, it will say the following:

    vivaldi-snapshot 
    
    [19216:19216:0124/180625.536236:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID
    sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than
    run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that
    /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

    All you need to fix it is became root and correct ownership/mode by executing next two commands in the root's terminal:

    chown root:root /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-sandbox
    chmod 4755      /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-sandbox

    @stroudmw I see now that I have used the rpm package to convert to tazpkg, and not the deb. I don't know if there is any difference, but maybe try converting the rpm package from the website, install it and see if the application launches. Aleksej, luckily I didn't have the above problem with permissions after I installed Vivaldi. Good tip though.

    Also, follow Aleksej's advice and try to launch the browser from a terminal

    $ vivaldi-snapshot

    I've tried to install the rpm and I've tried the chown/chmod and neither work. If I type in "vivaldi-snapshot" I get "/bin/sh: vivaldi-snapshot: not found"

    There is an icon in the menu, but nothing happens when I click on it.

    The only reason that I want to use Vivaldi is that it's about 100MiB lighter than Firefox (I've only got 700MiB RAM) and Midori doesn't render some web pages very well (like Facebook, for instance).

    Here are my sequence of events:
    

    sudo tazpkg -r vivaldi-snapshot (to remove the .deb package)
    sudo tazpkg convert ~/Downloads/vivaldi-snapshot-1.10.845.3-1.i386.rpm
    sudo tazpkg -i vivaldi-snapshot-1.10.845.3-1.tazpkg
    sudo chown root:root /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-sandbox
    sudo chmod 4755 /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-sandbox
    vivaldi-snapshot

    Here is a summary of my sytem (I'm sorry, but I don't know how to insert monospace text or code):

    Hi stroudmw,

    (I added the backticks for your monospace code).

    If I type in "vivaldi-snapshot" I get "/bin/sh: vivaldi-snapshot: not found"

    Check the file "/usr/bin/vivaldi-snapshot" existence. It should come with your converted package.
    This file is the only link to the executable file "/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-snapshot".

    It's there... odd.

    But not to worry... I've found the Opera Web Browser in the repo and it works great, so I'll use it :) But this poor old machine just can't handle Facebook, so I'll just use the Android app on my phone instead.

    I've also found a very old version of Thunderbird mail, so I can use that too. Pity that the calendar won't work on that version.

    One thing... what is a "backtick"?

    Thanks again for all your help! I really like Slitaz and this community!

    Cheers,
    Mike
