glibc upgrade fails

[Lancer <lancer81 cablespeed com>]

I have a new install of AS 2.1 which I understand is based on RH 8.0 for RPM
purposes. I have new RPMs which are dependent on libc.so.6 so I am trying to
upgrade glibc. As shown below this seems to be a chicken/egg thing. How do I
upgrade glibc?

[root host rpms]# uname -a
Linux host 2.4.9-e.3 #1 Fri May 3 17:02:43 EDT 2002 i686 unknown


[root host rpms]# rpm -i glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6.i686.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.2-4.80.6 is needed by glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6
glibc > 2.2.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.4-26


[root host rpms]# rpm -i glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc < 2.3.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6
