[SOLVED]glibc-error after fresh install

Hi,

I've performed a fresh installation of Archlinux and up to the point where I run the pacman -Syu command everything is going well.
It is then that I receive the infamous glibc-error so I followed the instructions on the wiki. However, when I enter the pacman -Syu --ignore glibc command,
I still receive an error for pacman itself needs to be updated first. The problem is that glibc is a dependancy of pacman.

The exact output of the "pacman -Syu --ignore glibc"

warning: ignoring package glibc-2.16.0-2
warning: cannot resolve "glibc>=2.15", a dependancy of pacman

On the wiki I also found a link (http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz) to a previous version of glibc, but even then the errors remain.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zic exists in filesystem

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
