Hi, I am running CentOS 5.3. 64 bit version. I have tried updating the OS but every time I run an application I need it reports that Glibcxx_3.4.9 is missing. I tried to do a search for this but cannot find it for my system.
When CentOS upgraded to 5.3 I had hoped that the new Glibcxx would have been included but it is not.
Is there an easy way to update the OS to include this?
You can probably tell from the question that I am a Linux Newbie so please try to keep the answers simple.
Many Thanks
Chris

Without knowing more about what you're doing it's a bit difficult to help.

You are unlikely to see major glibc version changes within minor updates such as 5.2-> 5.3

Glibc is kind of an important package and basically everything in the distro depends on it. You're really not going to see much in the way of major version changes there. If you can tell us about what you're trying to do, we can probably point you in a better direction for getting it done.

IIRC, this upgrade had an exception due to yum? IIRC, we were to upgrade glibc first and then the rest? I could be mis-remembering I guess.

Nope. You're correct, that was this past upgrade. But that was still a reasonably minor version change. Some folks want to see a jump from glibc 2.5-34 to 2.6-xx for a particular game server or some other application.
