Re: Locate core dump?

[Huaiyu Zhu]

I tried to install newer versions but they require libc6 while I only got
libc5.  (Why does source code complain about version of lib, anyway?)
I haven't got the courage to migrate from RedHat 4.2 to 5.0 yet.
Does anyone know if I can simply add new libc without touching anything
else?

Here's a test with what I have now.  (I believe it would be the same for
2.0.13)

rpm -ih octave-2.0.9-2.src.rpm
failed dependencies:
        /bin/sh is needed by octave-2.0.9-2
        libstdc++.so.2.7.2 is needed by octave-2.0.9-2
        libm.so.6 is needed by octave-2.0.9-2
        libdl.so.2 is needed by octave-2.0.9-2
        libc.so.6 is needed by octave-2.0.9-2
        ld-linux.so.2 is needed by octave-2.0.9-2
