It is extracted like an archive. Whether you have above two binary rpms installed, you can see when you run rpm --query python python2 > Well, "linux rescue" mode is for small problems like that. > sorry tried but din work... That answer is useless. Basically, from the rescue mode shell prompt you're free to mount your partitions manually as a last resort. The rescue mode provides a working set of tools, including "rpm". > i reinstalled but now glibc isit working...so i am trying to install gcc > latest version...may be the cause of unable to install glibc...hope someone > can provide step by step guide to install glibc easily as i am not a wizard > in installing libraries files...look what i did after python > installation.... I am not sure at which point you are right now. Sentences like "i reinstalled but now glibc isit working" are far from clear. You can read up on repairing a damaged system here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88456 A very rough step by step guide would be: 1. put original glibc and glibc-common rpms onto a known partition 2. boot with "linux rescue" 3. don't chroot into the system 4. create mount points as necessary 5. mount all neededpartitions manually 6. run rpm with a proper --root argument, so it accesses your mounted system You should be free to force-upgrade working glibc rpms, for instance. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/DMU50iMVcrivHFQRAs0WAJ9aR4aPdTL1RscEi1Mv9a/2hCJ7UACbBSpW Bcxrb8Rqz/UF6WrZ2e5QN6M= =GG16 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
