Can't find libc.s0.6(GLIBC_2.4)
 

In my ongoing saga of trying to fix a bug after installing KDE 3.5 and the 2.6.14 kernel, I have finally been able to install the source RPM for kbd-1.12-12.1. However, this did not fix the problem. I still cannot resolve the setfont: error at boot or install any graphical login photos. I also cannot restart x after text mode. I can get X fine at boot, but I still get the setfont errors. I know libc.so.6 is installed and I have been told that GLIBC_2.4 is still in development.

Anyone know any solutions? Any googling for this file just leads me to glibc-2.3.93, not the file I need.

Thanks

if your system is indexed properly.. do a search to make sure libc.s0.6 is actually in there somewhere.. or maybe because 2.4 is not installed, it won't register for some reason.

as far x not starting after leaving it, you usuelly get a message saying why.. like removeing /tmp.X0.. whatever.

or do a ps -A |more and find either x or xorg and kill it.

sometimes those don't work.. but i'm not sure why.. could be a security setting i have.

in that case, sometimes init 5 will bring me to the login screen...sometimes it doesn't depending on the sys i'm using.

good luck.

run this... "strings /lib/libc.so.6 | grep GLIB" if you don't get a match for GLIBC_2.4 but plenty of results for GLIBC_2.3 etc... then you need to upgrade glibc, and as you mentioned above, this isn't in updates on FC4 yet.

Thank you...you are correct. There is no GLIBC_2.4 for fedora that is available. Guess I will just have to put up with this problem until FC5 comes out probably in March. Hopefully the upgrade will have a fix for this. It really isn't that big of a deal, anyway. I am prevented from putting login photos for anyone. Other than that, most of the system works pretty well. I guess will give up on this one.

Thanks for your answers.

By the way, the string search and grepping did reveal only 2.3..

i saw on slashdot taday (i think) that 5 is out.
