in the name of god
hello

I will be thankfull if you guide me .
When i install GLIBC-2.4 it gives me ERROR :

checking installed Linux kernel header files... 2.0.10 or later
*** On GNU/Linux systems the GNU C Library should not be installed into
*** /usr/local since this might make your system totally unusable.
*** We strongly advise to use a different prefix. For details read the FAQ.
*** If you really mean to do this, run configure again using the extra
*** parameter `--disable-sanity-checks'.

AND this is config.log file :

It might help if you told us what distro, version, and arch you are running(like F8-64bit).

Debian Etch : I'll guess that changing glibc from version 2.3.6
to 2.4 will make your system unusable.
(The glibc in Etch is "libc6-2.3.6")
No harm done with compiling, just do not install.

There are instructions how to build glibc in "Linux From Scratch" :

Still : I think your system will stop working, if you do it.
You already have the glibc, that works with your system.
So you can go as far as 'make' but no 'make install' into your system.

Wrong glibc = > no programs, no terminal will work, you cannot shut down,
and never start up again.
Glibc is "the nerve" of the system.
