[newbie] glibc mdb-tools
Hi I saw the post and downloaded the mdbtools only to find it needs glibc to be exact glibc-common-2.3.1-36.i386. If I hunt up an rpm and install what could happen to my system? I am a bit afraid to do this without urpmi but I don't see it using this tool. Since this is not the only thing I do I would hate to break all my apps for this one???

Aaron glibc-2.3.1 is a MAJOR upgrade to your system and will deffo break things!! best thing you can do is get the src rpm then recompile it with the command :- rpm --rebuild mdb-tools.src.rpm the new rpm will be built and appear in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/ for you to then install HTH - -- os[Linux 2.4.21-0.pre3.1TmB - Mandrake Linux release 9.0 (dolphin) for i586] up[ 1 hours, 26 minutes] Qt: 3.1.0 KDE: 3.1.0 (RC6) If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -- Albert Einstein -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Kp53t3yCLmAxGjYRAv0OAJ47MUll92arcPsiu+UdJrcr9S0t/ACfaX18 RAVv7IF43BRsnPMs80QRYhY= =cvCq -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I couldnt find a src.rpm for this package...i did however find a spec file which is what you use to build a src.rpm inside the CVS from sourceforge.net i can send the specfile and tarball and instructions on how to build your rpm in a private email if you like. - -- os[Linux 2.4.21-0.pre3.1TmB - Mandrake Linux release 9.0 (dolphin) for i586] up[ 4 hours, 25 minutes] Qt: 3.1.0 KDE: 3.1.0 (RC6) QOTD: The baby was so ugly they had to hang a pork chop around its neck to get the dog to play with it. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+KsiBt3yCLmAxGjYRAoIEAJ41F1YbdXMZ9df5dYncjq3LEDTdPACglSgc gyFn/chJsNZtnrKzalpcJ38= =Ftt5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Aaron [tester@ibm333 tester]$ rpm -qa|grep glibc glibc-devel-2.2.5-16mdk glibc_lsb-2.2.90-11mdk glibc-i18ndata-2.2.5-16mdk glibc-2.2.5-16mdk [tester@ibm333 tester]$ That is from 9.0 normally a new level of glibc means binary incompatibility of rpms, and while Mandrake has a library naming protocol to allow multiple versions of ost libraries to be loaded and coexist, this is NOT true for glibc Download instead the source and compile it yourself that is, mdbtools-0.5.tar.gz I did not check the version for 9.1 beta but I am betting it will be the right one for the rpms. Dpkgs, binary tarballs, and rpms all fall when glibc changes significantly, and usually a twitch in the second number means exactly that. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
