glibc on RH 7.2

[Magee, Fred (MRC)]

Good morning, List.

 

I need to install Matlab R14SP2 on a system running RH7.2.  There is a
dependency from Matlab on glibc-2.2.5 and 7.2 only has 2.2.4.  Does
anyone out there know if I can upgrade glibc and all it's associated
packages to 2.2.5 without breaking anything else?  I know glibc is
extremely pervasive.  Googling the problem hasn't yielded much useful
information other than 2.2.5 RPM's for RH7.3.

 

My system info is:

 

uname -a

Linux zelda 2.4.7-10smp #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 16:16:16 EDT 2001 i686 unknown

/etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)

 

Thanks for any information you can provide.
