1.1 About glibc 2

Glibc 2 is the latest version of the GNU C library. It is currently without modification in GNU Hurd, Linux i386, m68k, and alpha systems implementation, and version 2.1 will be joined on the Linux PowerPC, MIPS, Sparc, Sparc 64 with Arm and other systems support. The future will be added to the other architecture and operating system support.

In Linux on, glibc 2 is the major version 6 of the libc, which is the successor to Linux libc 5. Linux libc's development staff in order to gradually replace the libc 5. Look on 2.0.6, glibc has a mature product quality. Glibc 2.1 version (in the near future) will add more features, and ported to more systems, sufficient as the mainstream use.

Locale data
Including manufacturing of the internationalization features to use glibc locale data files required information.

LinuxThreads is strongly recommended to install Cryt and two additional packages, if not installed, then there may be other libraries on the system caused by incompatible situation. (If you do not want to use these two additional packages, then you must configure in the implementation of the time with - disable-sanity-checks option)
