[CLUE-Tech] Red Hat 9 & glibc

[Michael Robbert]

What version of glibc do you currently have installed? rpm -q glibc
I can't find a RH9 machine right now, but I have checked RH8 and Fedora Core 1
and they're both running different revs of 2.3.2. You can do:
rpm -q --provides glibc
and it'll give you a long list of everything that it is providing, you should
see lines somewhere in there that are:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.2)

That should be what you need. It is possible that your RPM database is already
hosed for some reason. Can you try updating just one package at a time to 
see if that makes a difference?
