Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
I have been attempting for the last few hours to upgrade glibc on my machine, because some other software I have requires a later version. The box I am running was [originally] installed with Fedora Core 4, and so I am trying to upgrade the bits that need upgrading to allow me to upgrade other stuff that I am actually interested in running. 8-)<BR>
<BR>
Below is a dump of my shell commands [and results] that I have been getting in an attempt to perform this upgrade.<BR>
<BR>
Is there something I am doing wrong, or is there some thing I can do to complete this upgrade? It is seeming to me like a chicken/egg problem of circular dependancies. <BR>
<BR>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
thanks<BR>
<BR>
David.<BR>
