Ah yes but I have no idea as to how I can use rpm2cpio to bypass rpm and install a package. Can you explain this a bit, I am very new to redhat.

Ah that sounds like a great idea too, how can I easily see what RPM links to? I guess I could look at the source but I'm sure there must be some command to find out easily? > Do like: > > LD_PRELOAD=/home/tmplib/myownglibc.so:/home/tmplib/whateverelselibineed.so > > and use those while you are upgrading. Try it and see if it works. Ok I understand this, I just need to find out what libraries I must build and how I can build them. ;-) Thank you a lot for your answers!
