- Subject: Building and installing a new version of GLIBC on CentOS
My system requires a newer version of GLIBC and I had a partial success so
far. Building 64 bit works without a hitch; the installation failed to
complete but I suspect it is because of the older 32 bit libm.so.
Unfortunately, building a 32 bit version fails early. I searched around on
the web to find the proper way to build GLIBC version 2.29 for 32 bit but
nothing worked.
Having an old 32 bit and a new 64 bit libraries mess up the locale, e.g.
utf-8 vs utf8, and even prevent some apps to start.
I truly need a full replacement. Installing GLIBC in /opt would not work
due to my system requirements.
Anyone would be so kind to help me? :)
Ian.
