I'm trying to install glibc-2.4 package that other applications depend on and the dependencies are a NIGHTMARE.
Isn't there a easier way to install this package other than chasing after them on http//rpm.pbone.net.
Somone needs to fix this dependency problem it is going to kill Linux if it is not fixed. Someone a whole lot smarter than me.

For the record, winblows has dependencies too. Running with the normal upgrades available from a given distro manufacturer causes no dependency problems at all. Upgrading glibc outside of the normal course of upgrades is basically a brain transplant. Just out of curiousity, why are you trying to upgrade glibc? Not trying to stop you, but unless you are a developer, it may not be worth the effort. Here is a HOWTO, if you must: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Glibc-Install-HOWTO/
I want to install a application called Tourcad that will allow me to draft electronic schematics, there supposely a difference in libc.so.6 that
Tourcad has to use.
QCad is a free, open-source 2D CAD system for Linux, various Unices, and Windows. The developers main goals are to build a stable, fast, and easy to use CAD for everyone. You do not need any knowledge of CAD programs to start working with QCad.
i could be wrong but dont all programs depend on a file or more to run but winblows has the depenecies for the most part already installed in their os. i kinda like having issues sometimes gives me a chance to learn more about what linux does and is capable of doing, but im weird anyway good luck.
