You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking time from your schedule to help me, I appreciate it very much. Like I said Unix is new to me. I picked up a copy of slackware 5mo. ago just to see what this UNIX stuff was all about. I dont know why but for some reason The Dark Side just sucked me in. I bought a copy of Unix In A Nutshell 3RD edition but sometimes when you just dont understand what to look for you need to ask somebody for answers. I know some of my questions are stupid and elementary and I ask that you please forgive my ignorance on the subject and have patience as I try to grow.

find / -name libc.so.26.2 -print ---> returns nothing.
ln -s `locate libc.so.26.2` /usr/lib/libc.so.26.2 ----> returns nothing

I can find other files just fine so i know the find command is working. The files appears to not be there, but why would a snapshot not contain a critical file needed by the system seeing how a snapshot is just a recompiled version of the general release with errata applied? How to I get this file and apply it or do i have to format and start over with a different build?

NAME
libc - overview of standard C libraries on Linux DESCRIPTION
The term "libc" is commonly used as a shorthand for the "standard C library", a library of standard functions that can be used by all C programs (and sometimes by programs in other languages). Because of some history (see below), use of the term "libc" to refer to the stan- dard C library is somewhat ambiguous on Linux. glibc By far the most widely used C library on Linux is the GNU C Library <http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/>, often referred to as glibc. This is the C library that is nowadays used in all major Linux distributions. It is also the C library whose details are documented in the rel- evant pages of the man-pages project (primarily in Section 3 of the manual). Documentation of glibc is also available in the glibc manual, available via the command info libc. Release 1.0 of glibc was made in September 1992. (There were earlier 0.x releases.) The next major release of glibc was 2.0, at the beginning of 1997. The pathname /lib/libc.so.6 (or something similar) is normally a symbolic link that points to the location of the glibc library, and exe- cuting this pathname will cause glibc to display various information about the version installed on your system. Linux libc In the early to mid 1990s, there was for a while Linux libc, a fork of glibc 1.x created by Linux developers who felt that glibc develop- ment at the time was not sufficing for the needs of Linux. Often, this library was referred to (ambiguously) as just "libc". Linux libc released major versions 2, 3, 4, and 5 (as well as many minor versions of those releases). For a while, Linux libc was the standard C library in many Linux distributions. However, notwithstanding the original motivations of the Linux libc effort, by the time glibc 2.0 was released, it was clearly superior to Linux libc, and all major Linux distributions that had been using Linux libc soon switched back to glibc. (Since this switch occurred over a decade ago, man-pages no longer takes care to document Linux libc details. Nevertheless, the history is visible in vestiges of information about Linux libc that remain in some manual pages, in particular, references to libc4 and libc5.) Other C libraries There are various other less widely used C libraries for Linux. These libraries are generally smaller than glibc, both in terms of fea- tures and memory footprint, and often intended for building small binaries, perhaps targeted at development for embedded Linux systems. Among such libraries are uClibc (http://www.uclibc.org/) and dietlibc (http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/). Details of these libraries are gen- erally not covered by the man-pages project. SEE ALSO
