The problem is I don't already have one, though there is a reply to my other post that I'll be looking at in a few minutes, maybe something will be there. I updated the locate db, and tried to locate "glibc", but I only found documentation, and a few bin (not lib) compat files that look like they are meant to upgrade something, but creat no glibc. What I was considering was linking my "libc.so.6" file (no "g") to a glibc file in compat. -Jim Stapleton > Good stuff. > > The glibc you have might just do fine.
