Re: WHY!!!!!!!!!!!


Dear Mark !

                        I don't know exactly your problem but I can tell you
a very good HowTo of upgrading
to glibc2 on Linux I did it with that How To and it helped me a lot this is
Stef's HOW TO

try this:
http://mort.level5.net/stef/glibc.html

It is explained wery well and it worked fine for me.

Bye
Sasa Ostrouska
