glibc6

[calador]

I need to install glibc6 because several .deb packages say they can't install because they are depending on it. I can not find a direct download of glibc6 for ubuntu that doesn't require a ./configure, make & make install.
So, i downloaded glibc6 and untared to
/usr/src/glibc-2.6.1
the build directory is:
/usr/src/glibc-build
I then typed:
cd /usr/src/glibc-build
sudo ../glibc-2.6.1/configure --prefix=/usr
(all is fine up to here, then I typed)
sudo make
and get something about 'Versions.all' needed by abi-versions.h

make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" CVSOPTS="" -C ../glibc-2.6.1 objdir=`pwd` all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/glibc-2.6.1'

Lastly, I read I could type:
sudo aptitude install libc6-dev
to get libc6 with no problem
under ubuntu 7.10, which is my distro. However, it tells me there are several unresolved dependencies:
"Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
libgnomevfs2-0 recommends gnome-mount
gconf2 recommends libgtk2.0-0
Score is 23473"

aptitude wants to delete over 200+ - I looked at some and firefox was one of them which I am now using to type in this window...
Also, the gain of installing libc6 at the expense of losing everything like gtk is obviously not worth it.
thanks in advance,
