title: Installing glibc-2.29 from source in kali linux
body: <p>I need a debug version of glibc.I have some doubts regarding the installation of glibc-2.29 from source in kali linux.Based on the post <a href="https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Glibc-Install-HOWTO/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Glibc-Install-HOWTO/</a>,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>To install glibc you need a system with nothing running on it, since many processes (for example sendmail) always try to use the library and therefore block the files from being replaced. Therefore we need a "naked" system, running nothing except the things we absolutely need. You can achieve this by passing the boot option
    init=/bin/bash to your kernel.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>it says that we need to install the glibc in a single usermode environment.In another post <a href="https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Glibc2-HOWTO-5.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Glibc2-HOWTO-5.html</a> 
  single usermode is not required for installation but backing up the old libraries.I dont know which one to follow.Can anyone help?</p>
