Unless you *really* know what you're doing, do not attempt to upgrade glibc on your own. The vast majority of the time you'll shoot yourself in the foot, and if you doings like replace a 686 glibc with a 386 version, you'll mess up your system very, very badly. > Then i try this one... > > [root@xxx upload]# rpm -Uvh gd-2.0.12-2.i386.rpm > warning: gd-2.0.12-2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a > error: Failed dependencies: > libgd.so.1.8 is needed by (installed) php-4.2.2-17.2 > libgd.so.1.8 is needed by (installed) webalizer-2.01_10-11 > > Im not sure how to interpret that...what needs what and what is the > (installed) part? This is telling you that the version of php you have installed requires libgd.so.1.8 (probably version 1.8 of the library). Same thing with webalizer. You're attempting to remove that version and replace it with gd 2.0.12 which isn't compatible. In order to upgrade gd, you also need to upgrade php and webalizer. > ps. ---> NEWBIE! The newbie's best friend is up2date. It will let you get your packages current yet maintain the dependencies. Once you have compatible versions of your packages installed, then ask specific questions to the appropriate list as to why gd doesn't work for you. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
