Hello to everyone, Excuse me in advance if I'm asking here something about Scientific Linux CERN but I wasn't able to find any related mailing list for users who are outside CERN.
It the same as for users inside CERN: linux-us...@cern.ch (see on http://cern.ch/linux there is a link for subscription)
I have a SL CERN 4.7 installed on a test machine, and I require to run some tests with a c++ library that requires glibc 2.5. My SL has installed this version of glibc packets: glibc 2.3.4-2.41.el4_71 glibc-common 2.3.4-2.41.el4_71 glibc-devel 2.3.4-2.41.el4_71 glibc-headers 2.3.4-2.41.el4_71 glibc-kernheaders 2.3.4-2.41.el4_71 Could anyone help me update those packets? I've tryed yum-update glibc but it seems like the SL4 repository only contains those ones.
Generally speaking updating glibc to newer version on a given distribution (like from 2.3.4 to 2.5) is a non-trivial task: your distribution packages rely on 2.3.4 version and may/will not function properly if you upgrade it to 2.5: If you need to test something that requires glibc 2.5 why don't you install SLC5 (or SL5) that contains it instead ?
