Use the source, Luke...
glibc is one of the core libraries of the system - think of it as the
'goodie' library for 'c' programs.
While it can be updated manually, there are typically dozens or hundreds of
dependencies. If you want to do it (and an updated RH8 system IS glibc
2.3.2 - that's what the rpms are built for), run up2date and let the
automated process guide you. Yes, you'll have to register w/ RedHat
Network - that's redhat_register or some such script. You can setup a
'demo' or 'survey' account for free - every 90 days they send you some ?s
you have to answer and a beg-a-thon letter to get you to sign up.
Otherwise, if you read the back traffic on this list, people have posted on
how to rebuild the rpms for various systems (rpm -ta comes to mind, but I'm
only about 10% sure on that). Or just use the source and compile ntop on
your system where it will match your libraries.

Subject: [Ntop] cannot install ntop - please help
Hi,
new in ntop, not a Linux expert.
Trying to install version ntop-2.2-0.i386.rpm
on Linux 8.0 Psyche
problem with dependencies:
error: Failed dependencies:
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by ntop-2.2-0
So I tried to install appropriate glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm (as a source
of this library)
but:
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.2-4.80.6 is needed by glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6
glibc = 2.2.93 is needed by (installed) glibc-devel-2.2.93-5
tried to solve by installing glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm, result
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc < 2.3.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6
glibc-common = 2.2.93-5 is needed by (installed) glibc-2.2.93-5
how to resolve this loop of dependencies?
(Probably I am doing something stupid, not being Linux person can' work out
what - please forgive me)
Thanks in advance
regards
