I'm trying to install glibc 2.3.2, and I get the the point where I'm doing a make check.. and I get this:
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tigleon/Downloads/glibc-2.3.2/iconv'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/tigleon/Downloads/glibc-build/elf/soinit.os', needed by `/home/tigleon/Downloads/glibc-build/libc.so'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tigleon/Downloads/glibc-2.3.2/iconv'
make[1]: *** [iconv/tests] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tigleon/Downloads/glibc-2.3.2'
make: *** [check] Error 2What is wrong? I'm probably doing something really dumb, but I'm getting a bit frustrated so I wanted to ask if anyone would please help a newbie out... it seems to be causing me quite a few problems not having it running!
Ok I tried installing the rpm, and it told me it needed the glibc-common. So I downloaded that, and I get an error that says:
error: failed dependencies:
glibc 2.3.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9Now what do I do?

I'm assuming that you know what you're doing... (the new glibc doesn't support the old binaries properly and your system might not work at all) but still, the glibc is of different version than the glibc-common, try to find a matching one...

But the thing is, they are the same version number. Here is what happened. I downloaded glibc-2.3.2-11.9.rpm. I tried installing it, and it gave me this error:
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.2-11.9 is needed by glibc-2.3.2-11.9So I downloaded glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9.rpm and tried to install that, and I got this:
error: failed dependencies:
glibc 2.3.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9So now what do I have to do? Since it won't let me install either, and it seems like each needs the other before I can install them.

did you use rpm -Uvh (update)?
there are ways of forcing an rpm update/install. I did that and a lot of things stopped working - I had to backtrack (BTW, rpm stopped working - that was a bit of a stinker).
glibc is verrry important - upgrade with care: the make errors might be trying to tell u somethin.

no I just used rpm -i...
I know it is important, which is why I would like someone to help me get it installed right.

looks like you already have 2.3 installed, first remove it or try -U instead of -i.
I think there is absolutely no need to install a newer version of glibc, coz everything you have on your system right now was compiled using your current glibc, and the newer one is supposed to have compatiblity but the bad thing is that it doesn't...atleast its not complete, I know coz when I upgraded to 2.3 on my system (which was originally redhat 7.0 but now its far from redhat) there were a lot of segfaults... I had to compile nearly everything again using the newer glibc to make the system work alright...

How can I check if I have that version? I'm pretty sure I don't since a lot of things keep telling me I need to get it
