Title: GCC Compiler
Post by: Anders on October 15, 2003, 10:16:19 PM

Hi

I have tryed to install GCC and looked at the FAQ : http://www.e-smith.org/faq.php3#8q7

but when I try installing the rpms I get this error :

[root@Linux gcc stuff]# rpm -ivh glibc-devel-2.2.2-10.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        glibc = 2.2.2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.2-10
        glibc-devel < 2.2.3 conflicts with glibc-2.2.5-40

Can any1 help me with this???

When you attempt to install a bunch of RPMs you should always do them in one swoop unless specifically instructed otherwise. That may (or may not) take care of various dependency problems. As an example of doing it the wrong way, search for various Samba upgrade threads in this forum.

Also, most package installations are done using -Uvh, not -ivh. Again, read the how-to/docs for details.

then I get this :


[root@Linux gcc stuff]# rpm -Uvh glibc-devel-2.2.2-10.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        glibc = 2.2.2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.2-10
        glibc-devel < 2.2.3 conflicts with glibc-2.2.5-40

The FAQ item you quote says that you should avoid installing gcc if you can. Search rpmfind.net for the software you want to use. Failing that, if you really need to build your own code, then set up a RedHat workstation (on a spare computer, or a spare hard drive on the same computer) and use that.

If you really, really want to compile packages on your server, then go ahead - but note that there is an error in the FAQ - RedHat 7.3 packages should be used.

Do you? Nobody else has ever compiled it?

You blindly ignored the first (important part) of my msg, Anders. :-)

There is a French how-to for Eggdrop for SME 5.x: translated by Babelfish here:
