Hello everyone,

I updated Webalizer because he was stuck. But now I need to update my Glibc to 2.5 or higher.

But do I have to do this manually or is there something like yum install glibc or something?
 
Hello,

I guess you should use rpm/yum. First, check if it's installed:


Code:
# rpm -qa | grep -i ^glib
glibc-common-2.5-65
glibc-2.5-65
glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1
glibc-headers-2.5-65
glibc-devel-2.5-65

Then update it

Code:
yum update glibc-*

if any update is available.
 
it doesnt work I get the following error.

Turn off your firewall. If yum then works, then figure out what in your firewall is blocking it.

You did not show results of the first command.

Since you've got

No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

The reason is either the requested package is not installed, or the latest version is already installed. Of course if it's not an issue with retrieving repository metadata.
