... from the nearest FTP mirror
The last glibc for RedHat 7.2 was for glibc-2-2.4.
Now I want to install J2SDK 1.4.2_02. Granted that RedHat 7.2 is not on the list of supported configurations:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/system-configurations.html
Part of the release notes says to apply glibc-2-2.5:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/relnotes.html#linux
So what I did was apply the latest glibc-2.2.x RPM ( 2.2.5 in this case ) from RedHat 7.__3__ ( which I sometimes do from time to time for other RPM packages as well ) from the FTP mirror. After applying the RPM, JDK 1.3.1_09 which previously worked no longer works ( complaining, IIRC, of a missing symbol ), ssh to the linux box no longer works as well. I have to apply back glibc 2.2.4 for RedHat 7.2 to make things work again.
Questions now are:
1) What is so specific about glibc-2.2.5 RPM for Redhat 7.3 that it wont work with RedHat 7.2 ?
2) Any reason why a glibc-2.2.5 RPM was built for RedHat 7.3 but not for 7.2 ( which I guess is answered by question [1] as well ) ?
