Installing glibc 2.6 on CentOS

[Halada]

I tried running a Steam Source Engine Server. I always used shared hosting before (and Win OS) but recently our gaming community required a Teamspeak server and the cost for 750 slots was as much as a low-end dedicated server... so I said what the hell. I'm almost regretting it now though... hopefully over the months it'll get easier.

My problem at the moment is getting glibc 2.5 or 2.6 running on CentOS. I cannot run a Team Fortess 2 server without it.

I was under the impression since I just got the server and it was fresh it had the latest CentOS version and the glibc package already there.

So I tried a

yum install glibc-devel

in root via SSH but the problem still persists.

Is there a wiki somewhere that explains approx. how to get and install GLIBC on CentOS?

I would appreciate your help a lot!

glibc is vital to linux system, it must be installed, what version of centos?

cat /etc/redhat-release

CentOS release 4.7 (Final)

Still get this error:
Failed to open bin/dedicated_i486.so (bin/dedicated_i486.so: requires glibc 2.5 or later dynamic linker)

Centos 4.7 has glibc2.3, i wouldn't recommend installing a newer version, is there any way to get the server OS to be upgraded to latest release? (5.2)

[Halada]

Yes I will ask the host of my dedicated server, they take care of upgrading kernels and stuff like that.

So CentOS 5.2 has GLIBC 2.5 installed?

[coopstah13]

correct, centos 5.2 uses glibc 2.5

Thank you for your fast answer!

I had been trying to fix the problem for days and days!
