Re: Problem compiling 2.0.7 on redhat

[Doug Bible <dbible@tennessee.edu>]

After much weeping and nashing of teeth, I finally figured out the problem
of compiling 2.0.7 on Redhat 7.0.  You need to get the updates for glibc
which can be found at:

ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/glibc-2.2-9.i386.rpm
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/glibc-devel-2.2-9.i386.rpm

Of course the glibc package has to be done before the glibc-devel.  Run
the command:

rpm -Fvh <package name>

After updating the above packages, 2.0.7 should compile without
error.  There is also a glibc-2.2-12 update available, but I have not
tried it yet.
