Sorry. When I read your message it was not clear that you were using the cooker code and not the 7.2 release code. And the way it was worded, it sounded to me like a newbie asking a really really dumb question. glibc in mandrake 7.2 is 2.1.3 not 2.2 so if you're messing with the development software and asking a question like something is wrong with mandrake, then I think that you have your head stuck in a dark place. if you use 2.2 then you want to be asking questions with the preface that you are using the development stuff which is an entirely different ballgame. The development side is a swirl of trying a lot of things and when they do not work, you have to look for a while and understand how it works, and NOT accuse someone else of doing something wrong. My apologies and next time make certain you qualify that you are looking at development stuff and that you're frustrated that you cannot figure it out and need some help. Sharing what I know here is something that I love to do and it helps me learn. Mistakes are part of it. Its also humbling to realize that I've been on the planet using and programming computers for well over 30 years and that what I know seems to diminish with time even though I am learning new stuff at an extraordinary rate. I have no room for arrogance and no tolerance for it.
