when was the last time that the rpm data base was cleaned

Code:

su 

rpm --rebuilddb

and the old legacy gcc3.4 should be in a yum repo for RH4 why not use that one .

[sarcasm]ah, good ol' dependency hell [/sarcasm]

that's why tools like yum annd apt-get were created in the first place,

it means you are gonna have to download the proper version of gcc to match the version of cpp you are trying to install and run rpm -Uvh with that, and then see what dependencies it comes up with and download and try and install those with rpm -Uvh package.rpm etc..

yum and apt-get were created to automate this process to make updating as painless as possible...

here I am trying using yum

please help me how to solve

Hi there,

From my experience, you don't need to tell yum the complete package name you want to install. In that sense, you should try to install gcc like this

Code:

yum install gcc

This will let yum take the latest version of the package, and the dependencies should follow without to many problems.

Cheers

hi
still im getting the following error

what repos do you have installed on that old rhel 4 ( you do know that rhel 5.2 is the current)
yes 4 is still supported , just like win 98 was still supported for a long time after xp came out .
can you post the output of

Code:

yum repolist all

ok then the old yum on rhel 4 dose not have "repolist"
have you installed any 3d party reops for rhel4
Have you looked through the red hat docs for 4
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/#RHEL4
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/e...anagement.html

you might want to see what ( if any) gcc is installed already with

Code:

rpm -qa | grep gcc

the current compiler is gcc 4.3 , but rhel4 3.4.3
also i would NOT BOTHER trying to do such a small upgrade
from gcc 3.4.3 to gcc 3.4.6 on that old of a operating system

Quote:

[acclsys@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep gcc

with gcc 4 installed why do you want to install 3.4.6 .
