If it's a development model and you don't care about screwing up, try
upgrading to glibc 2.2
so to www.rpmfind.net and type in either glibc.  OR (this is a cool thing
about rpmfind) you can probably type in libc.so.6 (the failed dependency
name) and get the package you're looking for.
www.rpmfind.net qualifies as a cool tool in my book.
