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.
