rpm -qa | grep glibc | sort

You have old and new versions of glibc packages installed. `rpm -e' the
old package versions.

Alexander

This is the result.:
# rpm -qa | grep glibc | sort
glibc-2.3.6-0.fc3.1
glibc-common-2.3.6-0.fc3.1
#
I guess these are fc3 specific. If there are fc4 versions, should not the installer installed them?
How do I fix this without killing Linux?
