When I try to install 'gcc' into the system I get a failed dependancies error message (glibc_devel is needed by gcc-2.96-54). When I check to see which of the kernel building tools I have installed [syntax"rpm -q kernel-headers glibc-devel binutils cpp ncurses ncurses-devel make kernel-source" from what I can gather are the ones I need] I am told that gcc has not been installed yet. The strange thing is, this is the rpm file I am trying to unpack?!?!? The syntax I am using is: rpm -ivh gcc-2.96-54.i386.rpm Can someone tell me how this error is being generated if the file is'nt yet installed! Or point me in the right direction if I have my syntax wrong perhaps..... Steve Luter :/ infernalsly@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
