Good stuff. The glibc you have might just do fine. Just make a symlink from the one you want to the one you have and try! There's an FC4 linux in the ports, IIRC which is as recent as any Linux I have to administer; I have trouble believing you'd need a newer one otherwise the app won't even run on most Linux machines :-) Or maybe your app has an RPM for an older linux you could try. --Alex
