Hi,

Can any body help me what would be the best way to upgrade the glibc-2.3 to glibc-2.4 on RHEL3/RHEL4? As we know lots of application/daemons are dependent on glibc what would happen to them If I upgrade the glibc-2.3? dont wanna loose the services to be honest.

I couldnt find the rpm for glibc-2.4 RHEL3/RHEL4. My system is not registered at RHN so cant use up2date/yum.

I remember once i did upgrade this glibc forefully and got kernel panic error. so i thought its good to get some suggestions here. I would really appreciate if any boddy can help me in this regard.

Many thanks.

Sam

I'm afraid, there is no easy way to upgrade core libs under RHEL / RHEL 4 without using yum / up2date.

One can compile and install all the stuff, but it is way too dangerous in production.

Thanks for reply dear. My RHEL box is not registered with RHN (not licensed) so cant use yum/up2date
