i need to update glibc to latest version

i have the latest version of GNU make which is required i ./configure from seperate directory creating a config file where i configure from but when i goto make the file it just gets errors

glibc source is in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/glibc-build/glibc
i ran command
./usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/glibc-build/glibc/configure

which configured file ok
but make just errors out straight away

Try rpm versions from www.rpmfind.net if you still want to compile post errors here.

tried the rpm but couldn't download for some strange reason

the error i get is this
[root@localhost glibc-2.3.2]# make

Makeconfig:84: sysdeps/../config.make: No such file or directory

Makerules:782: no file name for `include'

The GNU C library has not been configured.

Run `configure' to configure it before building.

Try `configure --help' for more details.

make: *** [sysdeps/../config.status] Error 1

when i run config from glibc build it makes a config.log file but when i make it does the above??
could it be that the updated make is not correctly installed???
