    You already have glibc version 2.5-49 installed. Why are you trying to install glibc version 2.9-2, if I may ask? Updating glibc is *not* usually a good idea. If you really need a newer version of glibc, then it is best to reinstall your distro using a version that already uses that glibc - there are just so many binaries on your system that depend upon the existing version of glibc.

    Hey,

    You should know what are you upto.. I am not sure you are. This is kinda upgrade which will impact on the whole system. So be careful about your choice.If possible let us know your thoughts.

    Cheers,
    Bhaskar
