Re: Lib Version

Am Fr, den 30.04.2004 schrieb Tim Clarke um 17:20: Tim, the question is not that bad or silly at all :) The naming and version numbering can be confusing. Sorry, that I can not list you each glibc version with its package version number. Just for the actual glibc main version, which is 6 - the previous was libc5 - you may see: $ for i in $(locate libc.so.6); do echo "found in: $i"; j=$(rpm -qf "$i"); echo "$i is part of package $j"; done found in: /lib/i686/libc.so.6 /lib/i686/libc.so.6 is part of package glibc-2.3.2-101.4 found in: /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /lib/tls/libc.so.6 is part of package glibc-2.3.2-101.4 found in: /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6 is part of package glibc-2.3.2-101.4 So libc.so.6 means libc6 means glibc version 6 and is packaged in the glibc-2.3.2-101.4 RPM. Someone else may give you a more precise and better informed answer than me.
