Hello,

did you try to symlinking to newer library versions for libc f.e ?
That might work. You should be able to do something like

ln -s /usr/lib/lic.so.myversion libc.so.6

Best regards

doesn't help
linked it to libc.so
/usr/lib/libc.so.6 -> /usr/lib/libc.so
but got the following error: incalid ELF header
I also have have librt.so.1 ( /lib/librt.so.1 -> librt-2.5.so) so why file not found?

Found a solution. Looks like the version of this software for windows comes with a linux install file that unpacks to c:\DELL\Drivers\R132099\linux\setup.bin And that installs fine. Silly me was trying to download a linux version but all i needed was windows version. Guess Dell has to update their linux files to a more reason version since they still server version 1.x and windows has 3.x by now.
