Hi Greg,

You are most likely correct. I'm not at all familiar with how yum searches for stuff, but I did find the library and grabbed the bits, however, it won't install due to a compatibility issue with glibc-common.

Thanks...

Can someone tell me where I can find glibc-2.3.3 for either x86-64 or most likely i386. My yum stuff must be broken, or I don't know how to use it cause it can't find the lib. I'm looking on the CD's also, but so far, no luck.

Sam,

Which version of CentOS are you using? If it's 4, below is what I found using the yum search capability. I think that you are using the wrong library name, which an escaped wildcard passed to yum would fix.

Regards, Greg

glibc-profile.i386 2.3.4-2.9 base Matched from: glibc-profile The glibc-profile package includes the GNU libc libraries and support for profiling using the gprof program. Profiling is analyzing a program's functions to see how much CPU time they use and determining which functions are calling other functions during execution. To use gprof to profile a program, your program needs to use the GNU libc libraries included in glibc-profile (instead of the standard GNU libc libraries included in the glibc package).

If you are going to use the gprof program to profile a program, you'll need to install the glibc-profile package.

That sure works great. Will have to keep that command handy for future use. The lib 2.3.3 however is not compatible with the existing libraries on the machine. Most likely will have to hack the software to alleviate the problem.

try this command : /usr/share/comps-extras/whichcd.py glibc

That should tell you the disc number to find the package on. to fix the yum issue - you might want to also reinstall the centos-yumconf package.
