Problem installing Elfutils package..

Tim BAug 1 2012 — edited Aug 1 2012
Hi all,

I am trying to install 10gr2 on a 32 bit RHEL 5 OS.

One of the packages that's need to be installed is elfutils-libelf-devel-0 according to metalink.

Now, when I try to install it i get the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:
elfutils-libelf-devel-static-i386 = 0.137-3.el5 is needed by elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386


Now i tried to install the said dependency and i got this error:

error: Failed dependencies:
elfutils-libelf-devel-i386 = 0.137-3.el5 is needed by elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.137-3.el5.i386


I saw a somehow similiar solution in http://www.nabeelkhan.com/index.php/178/requirements-for-installing-oracle-11gr2-rdbms-on-rhel-quick-review/

I have to install both the packages in the same rpm command according to the link and i got the following:

[root@MCISMACAMDB Server]# rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
warning: elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:elfutils-libelf-devel-s########################################### [ 50%]
2:elfutils-libelf-devel ########################################### [100%]


The ..static package didn't seem to have installed completely. I tried checking if elfutils-libelf-devel-i386 = 0.137-3.el5 was really installed:

[root@MCISMACAMDB Server]# rpm -q elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
package elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm is not installed


So i tried installing it again then the system prompted that it is already insalled:

[root@MCISMACAMDB Server]# rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
warning: elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386 is already installed


Did i make the right steps? Can i go on now? I don't know if what I did was correct and ok and that I should already consider that package as installed.
Can anyone confirm me please?

Thanks.
