how to install GLIBC

[fromamsterdam]

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:

# 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

yum update glibc-*

if any update is available.

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

it doesnt work I get the following error.

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.
