Looks like, (as you have determined), You have no development tools
installed.

The package above is looking for *exactly* krb5-libs=1.2.5-6. You don't
have it, as you have krb5-libs-1.2.5-7. Understandable, and normal.
Irritating, but normal. :)

If this machine is registered with Red Hat network, try using up2date. My
guess is that you are trying to install packages from the CD, but some
packages on your system have already been updated. This will cause
conflicts, because you have krb5-libs-1.2.5-7, while the CD provides
krb5-1.2.5-6.i386.rpm. To get around this, "up2date krb5" and it should
install the proper version. Or, 'up2date krb5 gcc (any other missing
packages)...'
RHN should resolve dependencies and download the needed packages.
