But you'd probably get dependancy errors. You can install like this:
rpm -hvi --force glibc-2.2.x-x.ppc.rpm
And it will coexsist fine with 2.1. I'm no expert, however, and I'd ask
anyone that reads this to post a reply confirming what I have said here,
before you go and do this. I've had some bad experiances with glibc that
compleatly killed my ability to compile anything, so I know how it feels.
Thanks, hope that helps,
Jon

My kernel was 2.4.5 . I tried to install a later kernel, but later kernels
don't seem to work with my Umax S900 . :(

I got LPP 2k Q4 with the latest Blibc 2.2.4, gcc 3.02 AND
RPM 4.03.
You can read how to do it on Karous FTP (on linuxppc.org).
If you do it in the right order it will work.
If the RPM get messy (the database) do a -rebuilddb.
Better if karou had mentined that. ;)
Godd luck!

1. Upgrading from glibc 2.1 to glibc 2.2
Using a RedHat 6.x distro, I have a lot of things updated:
kernel 2.2.19 with reiserfs
glibc 2.1.3
binutils 2.9.5
cpp 2.95
gcc 2.95
gcc-c++ 2.95
qt 2.3
Xfree 4.0.3
kde 2.1
As you can see above, I have upgraded gcc from 2.9.1 ( that came with
egcs ) to gcc 2.95 ( from libc6 contrib RPM ) due to a compiler bug that
I encounered compiling qt 2.3 with "march=i686".
However, I wanted to upgrade from kde 2.1 to kde 2.1.1. Since there are
no RPMs for RedHat6.x of kde 2.1.1, I downloaded the SRPMS and try to
build the RPMs and install them. Building kdesupport went okay ( with
"rpm -bb --target=i686 kdesupport-2.1.spec" ). Now I am trying to build
kdedoc with "rpm -bb --target=i686 kdedoc-2.1.1.spec". However, the
build requires perl 5.6.0, which in turn requires glibc 2.2.
With the exception of installing a new distro, I have not done a major
glibc upgrade. So my questions are:
1) Is it safe? Will the existing apps that were compiled, static or
shared, with glibc 2.1 still work with glibc 2.2? The only information I
can find about this is on the link below:
http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/glibc-FAQ.html#2.3
... but it seems that the document is about a move from libc5 to libc6.
Is there a more updated version of this doc specifically for a move from
glibc 2.1 to glibc 2.2?
2) Has anyone with a RedHat 6.x distro done this, using the glibc-2.2
RPMS from rawhide?
Any help appreciated,
John
