There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3.1' not found (required by /usr/lib/librpmio-4.4.so) Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29) [GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this message to <yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. I tried yum update also, I really need GCC fixed my server is down help!
