Dear SusUser,

I am trying to install Allegro CL on my Suse 5.2 machine. They suggest in "Readme file" to upgrade the Libc C library to the glibc-2.0.7-6 (or newer version).

Q1 : Could I find glibc on Suse web Server ?

Go to <A HREF="http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/"><A HREF="http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/</A">http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/</A</A>> and read up on it, then decide.

Q2 : Would this cause any problem to my C, C++ (egsc, gcc) compilers ?

Before that I go any further I thought better ask you ?

It can be done, if you understand what you are doing. Several people on this list have reported success. BUT...many others, including myself, have broken their compilers, and have had to reinstall them. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
