Install it. I found libc-5.3.12-31.i386.rpm sitting on my Redhat box and guess
that's what I used when told by the fbb RPM that it was needed. I can't
remember if there was a trick involved, but I did manage to get it working.
The following is taken from the description in that RPM.
"Older Linux systems (including all Red Hat Linux releases between 2.0 and
4.2, inclusive) were based on libc version 5. The libc package includes the
libc5 libraries and other libraries based on libc5. With these libraries
installed, old applications which need them will be able to run on your glibc
(libc version 6) based system. The libc package should be installed so that
you can run older applications which need libc version 5."
