Ended up being: yum --enablerepo=sl-fastbugs install gcc However, your solution worked perfectly! Thanks a ton!

The "fastbugs" repo has glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3 and the "standard" repo has glibc-2.12-1.25.el6 . yum --enablerepo=fastbugs install gcc This will enable the fastbugs repo which has the glibc versions that you have installed already. -Connie Sieh Scientific Linux Developer _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
