Topic: Compile

[Wietse]

Hello,
I have a huge problem trying to install a compiler. There are no instructions whatsoever in the manual (which I fully understand, don't get me wrong here!) so I tried some bit myself. When I try to install a compiler (make in this case) everything goes well, until the point that I have to install a dependency called glibc-common-2.2.4-18.7.0.i386.rpm (this allready is a dependency for another rpm).
It then tells me:

[root@server rpms]# rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.2.4-18.7.0.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        glibc < 2.2.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.4-18.7.0
[root@server rpms]#
Now, somehow this problem keeps "buggin" me everytime, and I would like some kind of solution to this problem, thing is, I just don't know how to get past this problem. Is there ANYBODY out there who might now a solution?

Thanks very much in advance!

Hello,

I found everything I needed on http://www.trilithium.com/software/misc/ and on the rpm page of redhat.  I needed a make to install perl modules. And I guess I've been lucky cause everything went fine

Hope it'll help

Best regards,

Jean-François

running? And which of these packeges did you install??

Thanks  a lot in advance!

In fact I did install de make stuff from the redhat rpm page and because I
did not find the cpp package I found this page from a search on Google. So
as you know every time you install something it tells you that you need
something else (you know the feeling...) I just followed these demendecies
and it works, I just inalled the c++ and library package (but make was
already installed before.
I am not a linux specialist si maybe I installed some useless packages :
Some of packages are from an rpm search site. (just made a search in
google).  The zlib-devel seems to be important because we use red-hat. (sometimes all these terms means as chinese for me )


binutils-2.11.2-1.i386.rpm
cpp-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
gcc-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
gcc-c++-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
libgcc-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
libstdc++-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
zlib-devel-1.1.3-22.i386.rpm
mysql-devel-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm

My need was to install perl packages (like DBI DBD::MySQL etc...) in order
to try to install Demarc (an intrusion detection snort front-end)
Now I am able to make I am still not able to configure it, do you have
experience about that.

Hope it contribute to help you, as we say sometimes mre in two heads than in
one

Best regards,

WOW! I managed to installed a compiler! Thanks a lot!

I guess I know just as much about all this than you . I am kind of new to the whole Linux-world, but thanks to these kind of interactions (and IRC etc.) I understand more and more.

You stated that you needed MySQL, but that was allready installed ?!?!

Anyways, thanks for the support and good luck!

The gcc compiler works now, which is a huge step forward, but I am unable to install 'make'. This would be the last step in the process...

any ideas?
thanks in advance!

This was the first package I installed, if I remember without any problem.  I found it on Redhat web site, URL http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/make-3.79.1-5.i386_dl.html
You can download the file with a
wget ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/make-3.79.1-5.i386.rpm


Good luck
