    Application requires later glibc

    My users need to run an application which was build with newer GLIBC_2.11, while my system only gets GLIBC_2.4. It shows error "cannot find libc.so.6 GLIBC_2.11" whenever I run it. I cannot upgrade the system, so I have tried building Glibc 2.11 (for example:/opt/glibc-2.11) to another directory, but when I point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/glibc-2.11, I cannot run any commands because of error invalid LFS ABI. I also tried using LD_PRELOAD, but it does not work. Please help me, how can I fix this problem?
    Thanks so much!

    Try ldconfig /opt/lib. That should add /opt/lib to your library path without altering the status of /lib and /usr/lib (which contain the libraries that everything else is linked to).
