I know this is a dangerous request, and it's a dangerous endeavor I'm setting out on, but I need to update glibc on some RedHat 7.1 boxes. It's really my only option, and I'm willing to take the risk. I've set up a test box so if something goes wrong while I'm figuring it out I have no problems, but I can not get it to compile. I've gotten tons of different errors, and would be eternally grateful if someone could help me figure this one out. If you've got any tips or possibly a set of instructions for doing this, I will give you a cookie or something. I just need help!!!
