Claude, thanks for the response.

 gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix 
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit 
--host=x86_64-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-58)


Tried installing RPM:

 rpm -Uhv libxml2-2.6.27-1.i386.rpm
warning: libxml2-2.6.27-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f
error: Failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed by libxml2-2.6.27-1
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by libxml2-2.6.27-1
        rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by libxml2-2.6.27-1


Is it safe for me to update GLIBC?  last time I did that I had a bad day.

Thanks,
James
