There are newer ones in ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/ and ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i686/. They are already-built binary RPMs. You need to get the glibc-common and glibc-devel ones from the i386 directory and the glibc one from the i686 directory. The others are OK as they are. So get these: glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6.i686.rpm glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm and put them in a single directory. Make sure you *do not* have the i386 version of glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6 there. Then from that directory rpm -Fvh glibc*2.3.2-4.80.6.* Then reboot. Then I think you should be able to install the binary RPMs for Mozilla from Rawhide. In any case, you can then try to build from the SRPM. > > > On Tue, 2003-06-17 at 01:14, Thomas Dodd wrote: > > > > > Stephen Liu wrote: > > > glibc-2.3.2-48.i686.rpm > > > glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80.i386.rpm > > > glibc-common-2.3.2-48.i386.rpm > > > > You should have matchingf version of each. > > I'm using the SRPM for mozilla, not rawhide. > > I rebuilt the SRPM, with out problems. > > I am not quite familiar with the syntax/steps to install package from > SRPM.

Note that you need the rpmbuild RPM and all the development tools to do this. But I don't really see why the binary RPMs wouldn't install with the updated glibc. > > - snip- > > grab the SRPM for glibc and build all the corrct packages? > > Where can I download the same version of glibc SRPM?
