Hi guys, any help ....any idas on this libc.so.6 versilon 'GLIBC_2.3' not found .required by (some application) I have libc.so.6 all around my system in /usr/lib /lib and in /lib/i686/ any idea whta may be the problem how can i see what version is my libc.so?? How to repair this?? Would it be good enough just to download it from somewhere and copy in /lib and /usr/lib direstories??? Thanx all Alex ps. i'm new linux user, and cant setup my system for a month now and this kind of problems with shared libs versions and stuff remind me a lot of windows and as i can see linux is growing to be the same if it cant give solutions for this kind of elemental problems. I've searched all around and saw lot of people complaining without any good reply!!! no solution on RedHat site either :(... (i mean reinstall or system upgrade -since i can not download it is not a solution!! :( ) Take care all

glibc 2.3.x is still very very new, and not found in most distros... What is this silly program who wants glibc-2.3.1? I DO NOT RECOMMEND upgrading glibc, it can seriously break up your system. The reason is the glibc-2.3.1 is not completely compatible with glibc-2.2.x, so all the programs compiled with 2.2.x may not work if you upgrade glibc (and all programs probably mean ALL the programs that you have) I know its not compatible coz I recently created my own linux distribution from scratch, to do that, I had to compile everything from redhat, and redhat had 2.2, and when everything was compiled, and I compiled 2.3 and started up my new system, everything was broken...And I had to download a special patch to make 2.3 compatible with 2.2 programs, and then compiled all the programs again, so they would work with 2.3. You don't want to do that do you?

Yeah you are obsolutely right!! I do not want to completely recompile my system since i have no idea how anyway, and i wont upgrade my libc.... BUT what shall I do?? It is not just one application that complains about this it is whole bunch of them.... Thx Alex :/

I have the same problem but with mysql control center binaries. After I installed and I tried to execute it appeared the next message "version GLIBC_2.3 not found". I revised my /usr/lib and i found 2 directories: - glib & glib-2.0. My question is where I can get this library and how to install it ? Best Regards
