Hi;
This is probably an easy question for the experts; I'm doing (what I hope
is) the smart thing by asking before leaping off the cliff.
I would like to install the Star Office office suite on my linux box (Redhat
4.0). The installation instructions call for libc to be upgraded to 5.4.44
in order for installation program to work properly.
I looked through the Redhat FTP site to see if they had an RPM for 5.4.44
and it appears that they only have up to 5.3.1 (or pretty close). Is there
another place somewhere to get a Redhat RPM for libc-5.4.44? An RPM would
seem like the easiest way to go if it existed somewhere.
So (not having found an RPM) I went to Sunsite to see if they had it; I came
up with the two following files:
libc-5.4.44.bin.tar.gz
libc-5.4.44.tar.gz
There was a big difference in file sizes; which one is the right one to use?
And what is the right way to install this libc upgrade? Do you just need to
untar everything from /root and that's it? (I know, I know, this is probably
a basic question but I've never done it before) If not, what exactly is
involved in upgrading libc?
Thanks in advance for any help!
