I downloaded the following RPMs:
From where? What source exactly?
Notice that I did take care to select RPMs intended for RedHat 8.0.
RedHat 8.0, with no upgrades of system packages (until today - see another E-mail message about the subject).9208167 mozilla-1.4-0.i386.rpm 119897 mozilla-chat-1.4-0.i386.rpm 3301167 mozilla-devel-1.4-0.i386.rpm 162207 mozilla-dom-inspector-1.4-0.i386.rpm 212296 mozilla-js-debugger-1.4-0.i386.rpm 1923838 mozilla-mail-1.4-0.i386.rpm 103139 mozilla-nspr-1.4-0.i386.rpm 175862 mozilla-nspr-devel-1.4-0.i386.rpm 633236 mozilla-nss-1.4-0.i386.rpm 479970 mozilla-nss-devel-1.4-0.i386.rpm 283810 mozilla-psm-1.4-0.i386.rpm
and ran rpm -U --test mozilla*.rpm in a directory which held the above files. The output was: error: Failed dependencies: libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by mozilla-nspr-1.4-0
What is your system exactly?
As it happens, upgrading glibc-2.3.2 does NOT mean upgrading from RedHat 8.0 to 9.0. It does mean replacing some packages in RedHat 8.0.My questions:
1. Does the above mean that I have to upgrade to package
glibc-2.3.2-whatever?
2. If yes, does anyone have experience upgrading RedHat 8.0
installation like this? How risky would this be?
8.0 to 9.0? Not exactly trivial. If it is just for mozilla, it is probably not worth it. My bet is that rebuilding the mozilla SRPM would prove easier.
The big change is the different threads library.
