Pre-Flight Check
- These instructions are intended specifically for checking the installed version of glibc.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Core Managed CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
Using ldd
ldd --version
This should return a result similar to:
ldd (GNU libc) 2.17 Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Written by Roland McGrath and Ulrich Drepper.
In this case, version 2.17 is installed.
Using yum
yum list glibc
This should return a result similar to:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile 3 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Installed Packages glibc.x86_64 2.17-55.el7_0.3 @system-updates-released Available Packages glibc.i686 2.17-55.el7_0.3 system-updates-released
In this case, 2.17-55.el7_0.3 is the package installed.
