[cobalt-users] RaQ 4 mysql 3.23.51 trying to get perl dbi to work ? Needs glibc 2.2 ?

["Mike Sisson" <msisson@xxxxxxx>]

first of all, here is the 'reported' software installed on this RaQ4 server
I'm working with:
Relational Database Server and Client tools by InterBase. Release V6.0
Cobalt OS Release 6.0
RaQ4-All-Kernel Release 2.0.1-2.2.16C32III
RaQ4-All-Security Release 1.0.1-10749
RaQ4-All-Security Release 2.0.1-13453
RaQ4-en-OSUpdateRelease 2.0
Third Party Disaster Recovery Release 1.0.2-9198
PHP Release 4.1.2-3
Webalizer Release 2.01.10-1


The server DID have MySQL 3.23.49a  installed but with no perl dbi support
etc.
perl dbi mysql functionality is needed by a customer, so this made it a good
time to update mysql and get the latest stable version and make sure all the
bells and whistles are installed.


installation of MySQL-3.23.51-1.i386.rpm   went fine,
installation of MySQL-devel-3.23.51-1.i386.rpm   also fine,
installation of MySQL-client-3.23.51-1.i386.rpm   fine as well,

looks like MySQL-bench-3.23.51-1.i386.rpm requires dbi perl , which I am
understanding the package MySQL-shared-3.23.51-1.i386.rpm   will include.

however trying to install MySQL-shared-3.23.51-1.i386.rpm  indicates that
glibc 2.2 is needed..........
the server reports that it has glibc-2.1.3-23
(I think was upgraded since the official cobalt patches were applied)

I do not see an install package of glibc 2.2  for the RaQ 4 server ....

Anyone know where to grab one ?
or have good (real dummy level) step-by-step instructions on manually
updating glibc ?

I'm not a genius (yet) at linux or these cobalt boxes....

Any help (asap) is greatly appreciated.
