Installing Insync on Slackware
by thethinker from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51BF4)
I'm having trouble installing Insync on Slackware.
The Slackbuilds script contains an error - it requires a higher level of glibc then Slackware ships with (or something like that). We are working on that on the Slackbuilds mailing list, but I have a pretty critical need here, so I am looking for a workaround.
I tried using deb2tgz to convert a deb (I did my best to determine and use a package from the Debian version that shipped with glibc-2.23 (jessie), as Slackware does), and although the installation seems to work, insync does not run:
Code:$ insync
Traceback (most recent call last):

[3778] Failed to execute script insyncDoes anyone have any thoughts about this error? (or alternatives for getting Insync installed?)
