glibc 2.7 on CentOS 5.5?

I'm trying to run a program that requires glibc 2.7, but I'm running it on CentOS 5.5. Is there any way to do this? I can't upgrade to CentOS 6.


Solution 1:

Hmm. glibc 2.5 is a dependency on pretty much everything in CentOS5. If you change it to glibc 2.7, your box will explode.

Here's some discussion over in the CentOS forums:
