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

[JHZhang at mdanderson.org]

I called Matlab, they told me exactly the thing: at least rhel 4 is
required. I've never upgraded the RHEL, say to do it from 3 to 5, what kind
of impact on existing applications? I have database and webserver running.

I would check with Matlab to see if they have a tested version that
runs on Red Hat Linux and which version they support. They may no
longer support RHEL-3 and expect you to be running RHEL-4/5.
