GLIBC-2.3.4 on FC2? **RESOLVED**

[Harding, Devon]

The issue I was having was actually with zlib.  When I ran up2date or
any rpm, I would get: 

- up2date
   Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 12, in ?
      import rpm
   ImportError: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: symbol __fprintf_chk, version
    GLIBC_2.3.4 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

I followed the instructions here and solved the problem:

Also make sure you install the package for the right architecture and
not
just grab the i386 one when you most likely want the i686 glibc instead.
