My question about choice of library was "mostly answered" at:
But it deals with the issue on Ubuntu 11.04.
For Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit) the solution is (as provided at the url above): sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /lib64/libc.so.6
For Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit), libc-2.15.so replaces libc-2.13.so.
I am not sure how general this is, but I suggest finding out what libc.so.6 is linked to in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
That is for 12.04, in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: libc.so.6 -> libc-2.15.so
It works, though perhaps not for future versions of Ubuntu.
