i downloaded glibc-2.3.2 and untar it into a dir coz rpm does not work at all.
Bad idea. Red Hat has patch to glibc that you really need. I would be surprized if you had much luck with a tarball version.
followed INSTALL guide from glibc.... then ran configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-add-ons
Of course, you don't install glibc in /usr/local on a linux system. The Red Hat version uses /usr or /, I don't have the SRPM handy to check which.
What addons are you enabling? Some might conflict.
then ran make and got these errors...
Makeconfig:84: sysdeps/../config.make: No such file or directory Makerules:782: no file name for `include' The GNU C library has not been configured. Run `configure' to configure it before building. Try `configure --help' for more details. make: *** [sysdeps/../config.status] Error 1
Looks like your attmpt to run configure failed. You really should get the rpm.
Boot in rescue mode, mount your filesystem under /mntsysimage if recue doesn't. Then use
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --root=/mnt/sysimage <correct glibc rpms>
Make sure you use i686 version of glibc, if you have i686 or better.
Problems occur switching from i686 to i386 versions. glibc-common is i386 only, and needed too.
