Something wrong with the included rpm? [mfratoni@paradox slinky]$ whichcd -v 8.0 parted Searching for parted... CD-1:parted-1.4.24-6.i386.rpm CD-3:parted-devel-1.4.24-6.i386.rpm SOURCE-CD-1:parted-1.4.24-6.src.rpm This is an odd error, now that I look more closely. Typo perhaps, or is this a paste from the console? > [root@localhost root]# rpm -i > /home/jlowell/downloads/krb5-1.2.5-6.i386.rpm > package krb5-libs-1.2.5-7 (which is newer than krb5-1.2.5-6) is already > installed You are installing krb5, yet rpm is complaining about krb5-libs? Anyway, you want the matching version. It's available from ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/krb5-1.2.5-7.i386.rpm What's the output of 'rpm -qa | grep krb5' ? > I'd inquire, then, if you'd now modify your suggested solution above, > knowing that I had not attempted to install the package from the > installation CD after all. If so, what do we do from here? Try this from a command line: 'up2date -u krb5 gcc' Actually, 'up2date -u gcc' should pull in all of gcc's required dependencies: [mfratoni@paradox slinky]$ rpm -q --requires gcc cpp = 3.2-7 binutils >= 2.12.90.0.7-1 glibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12 libgcc >= 3.2-7 /sbin/install-info If it fails, let's see the error output, and we'll go from there. There are other packages you may need as well for development that are not dependencies of gcc. Unfortunately, you'll have to run up2date for each new missing package. For example, [mfratoni@paradox slinky]$ rpm -qa | grep devel | wc -l 125 I have 125 installed packages with 'devel' in the name. You won't need them all of course, but you will probably need some. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+FSyxn/07WoAb/SsRAv4kAJ0f/qUUsQesqHpKUWYCzvomV5eJrACfYkMy 9EtjZ/j10HAAwUDtd9qho9w= =qxCb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
