1) Some of our software needs linuxthreads (i.e. InsightII) but it's closed

want us to move to a different program.
Is there any way of installing another set of glibc libs on centos 5, to allow
an old, broken, but uselful program to run?
Depends which older version you need; the compat-glibc package provides
binary compatibility with the n-1 distro:
$ yum info compat-glibc
[....]
Summary: Compatibility C library
Description:
This package contains stub shared libraries and static libraries
from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
To compile and link against these compatibility libraries, use
gcc34 -I /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux4E/include \
-B /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux4E/lib/
