Hi List
Running Red Hat 7.3 requires me to recompile everything I want from Red Hat 9 (or that is avaliable to Red Hat) before I install it.
I'm looking for a way to co-install GLIBC 2.3 with the existing GLIBC 2.1. Any opinions?
No problem at all. Linux (like other Un*x like systems) has a rather elegant way to deal with libraries. When you install the RPM (I'm assuming you using RPM) make sure to "install" with -i rather then upgrade with -U.
When the RPM will run ldconfig it will set things up so that any program that explicitly asks for the older version will get it, a program that does not specify a specific version will get the latest, and if a program seems to mis behave with the newer lib you can always use LD_PRELOAD (man ld.so) to override.
In short - don't worry, be happy ;-)
Cheers, Gilad.
