hi,<br />
<br />
i recently started using Mandrake 9 on my machine. I'm fairly new to Linux -- and I'm in big trouble now! I wanted to install xscreensaver, it needed pam-devel &gt;=0.75. So I got the pam-devel 0.75-30mdk and pam 0.75-30mdk rpms for i586 and used KPackage to install them -- but I unchecked the No dependencies checkbox by mistake and it installed the packages. Now I cant 'su' to root, or do any other login. I get this error if I type 'su' at the command line:<br />
<br />
su: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /lib/libpam.so.0)<br />
<br />
Is there anything I can do to save my installation?<br />
Please help and reply soon -- I cant log off or shut down until I fix this, or I wont be able to log in again !!
