[rhn-users] Trying to update to glibc version higher than or equalto 2.3.4

[JHZhang at mdanderson.org]

Thank you Michael. Matlab requires glibc 2.3.4. I would like to go to the
newest version possible. Go from RHEL3 to 4 or 5 will be like a new
install, or upgrade with applications unaffected? I've never done this.

Hi Jun,

Which higher version are you after?

Normally with such a critical package as glibc, it has hundreds of
dependencies so usually means you need to upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL4 or
RHEL5.

Regards,

Michael.

I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3. The current glibc version
is 2.3.2, which is also what RHN has available. In order to get the
higher version, what is the right thing to do? This will be concerning
where to get the rpm file, and how to deal with the dependency issue (is
-nodeps a good idea?).

btw, the requirement is come from running Matlab 2007a.

Jun
