Hi all,

I wanted to install the latest version of firefox 2 but it seems when I attempt to install it, it seems to be saying it is looking for c libraries version 2.3? I believe I currently have an older version of the c libraries. I am currently running Sun's JDS Linux 2003. My Mozilla web browser seems to have packed up and I ended up using Nautilus file and directory navigator to do my web browsing so I thought I'd try using Firefox 2. I downloaded glibc version 2.6 but I have been told there are problems or bugs and that 2.3 is a more stable version, correct?

when I attempt to install glibc 2.6 I think its complaining about some sort of target directory using --prefix argument, but I am slightly lost. I want to make sure I get this right as I don't want to reinstall linux and wine from src :s
If I upgrade glibc then would I have to upgrade the kernel and other packages like gcc, binutils etc?

Can someone who has done this before provide me with details how they went about it (rpm or src) and what other installations they did?

Your help and guidance is much appreciated.

Mani
