Go to the mandrake mirror site and download the rpms or check out http://rpmfind Run a search for the lib rpms and all of the glibc and glibc-devel rpms. Download and copy them to the same folder. Log out to console as root. Repeat the same steps. If you get no feedback about dependencies, remove --test.
