Hi frank,

thanks for the reply. As per the guide i should have got an error at 97% of the installation and then i had to install glibc-stubs patch. But i did not get any error while installation (this was the first time i ever wished i get an error), so after the installation completed i installed glibc-2.1.3-stubs but that didnt help. Any suggestions ????

Would installing 8.1.7 really solve the problem ??

thanks
