I had not, but I did so just now, and this does yield some interesting results. When doing exactly the above, i.e. "yum install gcc cpp", at first it comes a long way, until it hits the point where it tries to install libobjc, which results in the following output: ---> Downloading header for libobjc to pack into transaction set.
libobjc is only installed as a dependency if you're installing the gcc-objc package, not just plain gcc. Are you telling us what you're really doing? If libtool requires gcc and libtool is already on your system, then you must also already have gcc. So why aren't you using "yum update gcc" rather than "yum install gcc"? Have you tried simply "yum upgrade" (with no specific packages listed) to bring the entire system up to date? If not, why not? As a last resort I'd suggest that you try removing libtool entirely (rpm -e libtool), then installing whatever gcc packages you are after, and then try re-installing libtool.

It does seem a little odd that libtool has a specific "gcc = 3.4.5" dependency ... however, on my CentOS 4.4 box it reports "gcc = 3.4.3" and I didn't have any trouble updating gcc: % rpm -q libtool libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.4 % rpm -qR libtool /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /sbin/install-info autoconf automake gcc = 3.4.3 libtool-libs = 1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.4 m4 mktemp perl rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 % rpm -q gcc gcc-3.4.6-3.1 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
