Introduction
This document describes what I had to do to get glibc-2, also known as libc-6, installed on my Linux system. It contains a step-by-step guide to recompile and install all components needed.
Note that, though I have checked and rechecked this document to the best of my abilities, there may still be bugs and omissions, both small and large. I use glibc-2 myself after the setup described here without any problem, but your mileage may differ. I would be grateful for any comments or corrections you send me - and perhaps a small note if this also works for you...
