Need to reinstall GlibC-2.3.2

Sn1PeR · 05-03-2004, 05:11 PM

I need to reinstall glibc-2.3.2 as it's needed to run xwindows. I uninstalled it from /var/log/packages so I could install the new version of pango(ultimately trying to get gtk+ installed). After installing pango(which had detected the old version of glib along w/ the new one) I can no longer run x because glibc-2.3.2 is needed. Can I reinstall it from the cd? Please help.

I downloaded a glibc-2.3.2.tar.gz from gnu.org but can't get it to ./configure bc I need a seperate build dir and don't know which files to move.

just install glibc like this.........logout to command line, change to the
directory where glibc is and type..........

Code:

installpkg glibc<version>.tgz

no need to compile it..........

thanks

Glibc-2.3.2 is bundled in w/ X so put in slack CD and mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/slackware/x
installpkg *.tgz

and it works!

Or if you have your internet working just do swaret --remove glibc and then swaret --install glibc (That way you get latest version)
