X: /lib/libc.so.6 version 'GLIBC_2.3.4' was not found (required by X)
giving up
xinit: conection refused (error 111) unableto connect to X server
xinit: No such process (error 3): Server error.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but i went to the directory /lib/libc.so.6 and it's there

very amazing

Hello,

The problem doesn't come from the presence or not of /lib/libc6.so but from the version of this lib...
When X try to start it needs to load "GLIBC_2.3.4" which is libc6.so... to know if that's the good version, it checks a tag in the lib header... and I suppose it finds an unexpected tag, so it fails

try reinstalling glibc? using:

upgradepkg --reinstall /mnt/cdrom/slackware/*/glib*.tgz

I've no experience of your problem but this method sometimes fixes stuff!

hello there

could you tell me what is the name of the file called, because there are so many of them start with glib


i was updating my system using swaret maybe that think mess up my system

may be i need to get rid the old file first then reinstall my old file from the cd
as u can see, maybe the file that was download was messup.

should i remove /lib/libc.so.6

when i typ ls -l is say /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.2.so*

it's a link to the file

i thought the command was startx -- :0 or 1,2,3,etc...
no?

i think the above command is to view on different computer
________________________________
by the way i found the file and i remove it and then reinstall but no luck

then on what should i do ,

giving up is not an option

have you checked the permissions of various folders? ie. /lib rwxr-xr-x!!
I am at a loss otherwise

thanks guys for your help

I am truly proud of my self, I have solve the problem, it was hack of time fooling around with my system. The main cause of the problem was = swaret i was updating my system. at the time i have look what files was it updating it was x11..... so i have remove it and reinstall it by the slackware cd in slakware/x/x11.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
now on i am not going to use swaret., my question what was the purpose of the file that i was downloading i thought it will update instead it damage lol
