Dear Lawson,
I want to upgrade my 5.x RedHat system. I don't know where I can
get the glibc files, but a search at www.freshmeat.net will fix that,
I'm sure. But I don't know which files I should get. The standard and
the devel packages, for sure. Anything else? Which version should
I look for?
And talking about gcc, I'm going to upgrade to gcc-2.95.2. Should I
get a binary package or build my own version from the sources?
Can gcc-2.95.2 sources be compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3? What do
you recommend?
Thanks again,
