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

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.
First of all, you have a Cobalt Raq and it is not designed to have all the latest bells and whistles. You will never have all the most current updates for it. Basically, the Raq4 is using a modified RedHat 6.2. Cobalt removed a few items and modified some others to make it their appliance. This made it a bit more secure and capable of doing the web hosting it was sold to do. When you start updating modules and packages to things past what Cobalt supports, you are on your own. I know this is not of any help getting what you want running, but it does let anyone who does not know what they are working with what they have. Basically if you want all the newest bells and whistles, don't buy a Cobalt, if you want a stable web hosting appliance, then that is another story.
