ok... now i am confused.. when i do the original 'yum install php-5.0.6-4' i get the yum output.. which ends in the following... --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: gcc= 3.4.3-22.fc3 for package: gcc-g77 --> Processing Dependency: libreadline.so.4 for package: cdecl --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.4 is needed by package cdecl Error: Missing Dependency: gcc is needed by package gcc-g77 the strange thing is that when i do an 'rpm -qa | grep readline' i get the 'readline-4.3-13' which has the actual 'libreadline.so.4' i also can see that gcc is installed using the sam rpm command... so, if these apps are installed on my system, what's yum really saying. or is it possible that something's corrupted, and yum is just confused? is there some yum database that i can blow away/recreate/repair???? ideas/comments/etc... thanks -bruce -----Original Message----- From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of bruce Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005 11:49 AM To: 'seth vidal'; yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Yum] yum quesiton -pt 2... trying to do a 'yum install foo' 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.
