why? did i download an old?

masand · 12-27-2004, 05:07 AM

i was asking for that ,becaue it is a possibilty that the package might have been corrupted during the download
i too have faced such problems which sometimes get recitified on trying with another copy of that

try to upgrade your glibc to version 2.3.2 or higher.

I dont use Mandrake, but I'm sure it has some sort of package installer. Do a search in your installer for glibc and install/upgrade that package.

here's the download for it, if you want to install yourself:
