Install Glibc2 using Yum
I’m trying to install glibc2 version 2.11 that’s needed for openoffice 3.4 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119393 but i can’t seem to find the dependency with yum.

I’m trying to run a program that requires glibc 2.7, but I’m running it on CentOS 5.5. Is there any way to do this? I can’t upgrade to CentOS 6. Asked by CommunistPancake Hmm. glibc 2.5 is a dependency on pretty much everything in CentOS5. If you change it to glibc 2.7, your box will explode. Here’s some discussion over in the CentOS forums: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28345&forum=41 https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=27133&forum=38 Answered by cjc Check more discussion of this question.

Using wget (curl, httplib2) I always get a 5 second resolving timeout. This issue doesn’t arrive when I do wget -4 or wget -6. Resolving also works using dig or host. Delay can be lowered using “options timeout:2″ in /etc/resolv.conf The strace output of this is: 15:19:09.908234 uname({sys=”Linux”, node=”openkvk”, …}) = 0 15:19:09.908413 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_NONBLOCK, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 15:19:09.908482 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr(“212.83.206.202″)}, 16) = 0 15:19:09.908569 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) [...]

I have a static version of wkhtmltopdf which requires glibc-2.4 wkhtmltopdf: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4′ not found (required by wkhtmltopdf) I have apt installed with the DAG repos. Other than that the server is pretty stock standard except for Coldfusion MX7. My question is, is it safe to just “apt update glibc”? Will the updated glibc clobber the old one or will they co-exist? Should I “apt upgrade” the whole server? I’m pretty sure everything else [...]

I have a situation where a group of developers is attempting to deploy a binary application to a series of RHEL 5.5 and CentOS 5.5 servers. Unfortunately, the application was developed on another platform (Gentoo) and execution results in a GLIBC dependency error: libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7′ not found (required by /path/to/application/bin/program.app) RHEL/CentOS 5.x is standardized on GLIBC 2.5 (with patches and backports, but still stuck at 2.5) I’ve been abe to get around other library [...]
