Which rpm packages do I need to get a hold of?
901652Jan 11 2012 — edited Jan 11 2012We're trying to set up a temporary test server for a customer, and they asked for the following packages to be installed:
compat-libstdc++-egcs-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm
compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386.rpm
(among others which installed fine)
When I attempt to install these last two packages, I'm getting errors. For the first one:
--------------
$ rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-egcs-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12 is needed by compat-libstdc++-egcs-1.1.2-1.i386
--------------
And for the other:
--------------
$ rpm -ivh compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
compat-binutils215 is needed by compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386
compat-gcc-34 is needed by compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386
compat-gcc-34-c++ is needed by compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386
gcc is needed by compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386
gcc-c++ is needed by compat-oracle-el5-1.0-5.i386
--------------
When I attempt to install glibc-devel-2.3.2-27.9.7.i386.rpm (to satisfy the first dependency) I see :
--------------------
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.3.2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.3.2-27.9.8.i386
--------------------
Right now I have glibc-2.5-65 installed. When I try to install glibc 2.3.2, I get a conflict.
Am I approaching this wrong? I'm attempting to use rpmfinder.net to track down these dependencies. It's a difficult, error-prone process. But when I try to do "yum install X" I just get no results found, probably because no repository is set up.
What's a better way to do this? I don't have Yum configured on this system. If the answer is "use Yum", I'd like to find out how to connect to a free public yum server that has these packages.
