Hi all, I'm working on my networking issues and it seems as though one of my problems is that when I boot up my Fedora Core 3 system I get a couple of errors during the network part which state that the files "libc.so.6" and "libnsl.so.1" can't be found. I've traced them back to the GLIBC package but when I download and install a new RPM for that package the installer states that I already have a "more current" GLIBC installed. Unfortunatley when I search for either of those two files they don't exist! How do I get new ones installed? Thanks for the help.

chris

these things for me are in /lib
look there
libc.so.6 is a link to -> libc-2.3.4.so
libnsl.so.1 is a link to -> libnsl-2.3.4.so

do you have suff like that in /lib ?
posibly show us 'ls -l /lib'

OK, below is the directory listing. I does look like the link is there but why can't the bootup sequence find it?
