upgrading glibc to a version at least 2.17 or higher in ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
I need a newer version of glibc in my ubuntu version (precise, 12.04), but I don't seem to be able to go beyond version 2.15 using apt-get. I tried to compile it by myself but I almost destroyed my distribution, so I was wondering if someone has gone through this process successfully and would be so kind to guide me.
Solution 1:
For such an update you will need to update your Ubuntu completely as every package linking to libc will need to be recompiled. And these are a lot.
