The issue I was having was actually with zlib. When I ran up2date or any rpm, I would get: - up2date Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 12, in ? import rpm ImportError: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: symbol __fprintf_chk, version GLIBC_2.3.4 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference I followed the instructions here and solved the problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-February/msg01538.html -Devon -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Schwendt Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 2:29 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: GLIBC-2.3.4 on FC2?

Also make sure you install the package for the right architecture and not just grab the i386 one when you most likely want the i686 glibc instead. -- Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) - Linux 2.6.11-1.3_FC3 loadavg: 0.11 0.27 0.62 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
