Hello,
Im using RHEL 4 and I installet apt to manage my packages. I have the following repository in my /etc/apt/sources.list:

I need to install a gcc compiler but it is not on the repository ? Is that normal ?

Thanks,
Tex

Dag (nice guy btw, met him a year back...) himself doesn't do core things like gcc, that's redhat's job. he does additional pacakges to provide extra functionality. there are no free mirrors for apt for rhel4 afaik, as you would need to subscribe to the redhat netowrk to get their updates.

so how can I get gcc for RHEL4 ?

your distro cd's / dvd's will include it.

Ah thanks. I used
and my CDs.

Im so used to used only online repo from distribs like Debian that I didn't think about my CD

Thanks

or you can download it from the internet searching for

gcc rpm

in google

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3
has some rh-EL4 packages indexed.
gcc is here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html
Good luck!

OK, the http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 has a very good rpm. But in my machine which is redhat enterprise 5, there are alot of dependencies that need to be installed.

If I download low gcc version, then my current dependecies are higher, so a conflict. And same thing if I download high gcc.

The best thing is how to find a repository that can let me use yum in a good way, so it will find for the latest available gcc and gcc-c++ and based on that the repository will download and upgrade all the dependencies without need to worry about all of it. Really it is becoming very hard without repository.

I need a good repository for gcc and gcc-c++ that give me a chance to download a version > 4 for gcc and this repository will automatically update and download the needed dependencies.

Any advise?

@ bghayad
.... Yes, 'yum' should be used instead of downloading packages.

CentOS 5.x = Redhat EL 5.x
Please find the repo files in post # 2, 3 here
