I upgraded the glibc libraries on my computer from glibc "2.1.3-16mdk" to
"2.1.3-18.3mdk" for glibc, glibc-devel, and glibc-profile. I tried doing
this from within MandrakeUpdate, but the install would stall, not giving me
any error messages. So I downloaded them from rpmfind.net (not the cooker
version, the normal mandrake ones). I exited X, from a virtual desktop I
typed (a la mandrake website):
rpm -Fvh glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm
rpm -Fvh glibc-devel-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm
rpm -Fvh glibc-profile-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm
Everything seemed normal, except, after re-entering X, I found I couldn't
access the "su" command. I get the following error:
"error in loading shared libraries:libxalflaunch.so.0:cannot open shared
object file:no such file or directory"
This only happens in Gnome. Trying to open DrakConf, rpmdrake, or anything
that would normally open up a password dialog window, doesn't do anything.
What happenned? How can I fix it?
