CentOS 6 - Update GLIBC (libc.so.6)
I'm trying to update glibc from 2.12 to 2.14.
I've tried this:
yum install ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/15/x86_64/glibc-2.14.1-6.i686.rpm
and
yum update ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/15/x86_64/glibc-2.14.1-6.i686.rpm
But either way it says:
Examining /var/tmp/yum-root-wKTjts/g
Marking /var/tmp/yum-root-wKTjts/g
No Packages marked for Update
And then the version is still 2.12.
Any ideas!?

I get this yum error:
yum -Uvh --nosignature ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/15/x86_64/glibc-2.14.1-6.i686.rpm

oops sorry typo
rpm -Uvh --nosignature ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/15/x86_64/glibc-2.14.1-6.i686.rpm
Please copy paste the output if unsuccessful, I think there are some dependencies that needs to be addressed.

Should I not also be using x86_64, because it's a 64-bit system?
Download the required glibc-common and glibc from the site and issue the below command. It should solve your issue.
yum localinstall --disablerepo=* glibc-common-glibc-2.14.rp
Yes you need to use x86_64 instead of i686
yum localinstall --disablerepo=* glibc-common-glibc-2.14.rp
Yes you need to use x86_64 instead of i686
Download and save glibc-common-2.14.1-6.x86_
run the command
yum localinstall --disablerepo=* glibc-common-2.14.1-6.x86_
run the command
yum localinstall --disablerepo=* glibc-common-2.14.1-6.x86_

If you're doing this to run the latest versions of Chrome, you should use Richard Lloyd's script from
http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk
His script installs the most-recent version of glibc (that doesn't crash C6) segregated in its own folder so only Chrome uses it, which should keep your server from getting corrupted by incorrect versions of supported libraries.

This info is still relevant now and will remain relevant for the support-life of CentOS 6 (sometime in 2020).
