glibc install help

Hello everyone,

I'm in need of install the latest glibc on a RH7.3 server. However, my mojo does not appear to be strong enough. My guru is not in town and I'd like to have this up by 4 or 5 pm.

Does anyone have any experience with this? The directions are somewhat puzzling and when I run ./configure --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads I get:

configure: error: you must configure is a seperate build directory.

huh? I just need the quick and dirty instructions if you have them.

thanks,

anthony
