Re: [cobalt-developers] mySQL number error

[Genesisbae@xxxxxxx]

For those who are in the same boat.
I fixed the problem. It was easy enough for someone like me.

I went to cobalt site(click download link at support page) and downloaded 
glibc update pkg file and installed.
but I had to download and install RAQ2 os 3 first.

Then the floating point problem is gone.

Hope you do well too.

thanks for reply. 
i just found the following line in the readme file from cobalt mysql 
installation instructions.(this is the instruction that I saw at the time of 
installation, apparently I ignored. :(

o The floating point support is fixed.  To use floating point successfully, 
  you must upgrade your glibc to 2.0.7-29C2 or higher.

can some one tell me how to upgrade glibc. or how can I find out what my 
version is?
If I have to upgrade glibc to new version, does that mean I have to reinstall 
MySQL from the beginning? I might lose all the databases and things...

Please help.
Genesis.

I found the glibc version : it's  glibc 2.0.7
is it too low?
do I need to upgrade for mysql (for floating point problem)?
