[NBLUG/talk] Updating Glibc on RH9

[Mark Street]

My guess would be the wrong glibc packages....

Run the following command as root and see what you have there.

rpm -q --queryformat '%{arch}\n' kernel glibc

I would bet you get

athlon
i686

If so make sure you install the i686 UPdates for glibc, take a look in the
i686 dir and grab those updates instead of the i386 packages.
