Download glibc version 2.5 first and then upgrate it.
Here is a website with the latest versions :http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/glibc.

earlier,
run command rmp -Uvh glibc-*
tell me what you get when you type rpm -aq | grep glibc

That is not "not working". That is telling you that in order to upgrade it
you will have to upgrade a number of other packages as well.
download also glibc-common, gdb, glibc-headers, glibc-utils, glibc-devel
and install them all at once.


[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.5-3.i386.rpm

when I tried to upgrade glibc-common = 2.5-3 it says this :


[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm
warning: glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID

???


i tried with --Force option but it too doesnt seem to work .. now can
you suggest something.. ok .. i tried to compile the tarball image as
well ..

You have to install them all at once-- ie on the same command line.
rpm -Uhv glibc* gdb*



thanks for your interest ..
