Hey,

I've got YDL 3.0 running extremely well on a G4 server and I am happy so far
with what I've seen.  I just have one simple (and kinda noobish) question:

I want to run some software that requires glibc6 to run and I don't think
those libraries are included in YDL 3.0.  I am sorta a new linux admin. and
don't know what I need to install or really what glibc6 is all about...  I
do know that they are GNU C language related, right?  The main software that
I could not get running was the linux version of ShoutCast MP3 server.  They
say on their site "This SHOUTcast server runs on Linux, and is an elf binary
compiled with glibc6. SHOUTcast no longer supports older Linux kernels
running libc5 or glibc".  I tried to run the binary anyway and it just gave
errors and I assume it has to do with this glibc6 stuff.

Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance,
