hi... when doing the >yum install gcc-3.4.2-6 i get the yum output.... . . . --> Processing Dependency: libgcj-devel= 4.0.0-1 for package: gcc-java --> Processing Dependency: libreadline.so.4 for package: cdecl --> Processing Dependency: libgnat= 4.0.0-1 for package: gcc-gnat --> Processing Dependency: gcc= 3.4.3-22.fc3 for package: gcc-g77 --> Processing Dependency: libgcj= 4.0.0-1 for package: gcc-java --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
