Hi,
I attempted to ugprade glibc & glibc-devel and ended up removing them entirely by accident. *idiot*
What are the steps needed to get glibc back onto my system. Absolutely nothing is working at the moment, rpm, yum, etc. I presume I'm going to have to boot from a rescue CD of some kind.
If someone could outline how to do this, or point me to some docs I would be most grateful. (CentOS 4.3)
If you are doing anything other than 'yum update', then you are doing it wrong :)
Just boot a centos 4.3 cd/dvd into rescue mode, mount your filesystems rw, and install the glibc package from the CD with 'rpm -r /path'.
And don't forget to update your system as the current is 4.5.
