Your problem probably is that rhel4 is very old.

Try
yum list *gcc*

But I feel the places yum looks for stuff from might no longer be answering.

ratotopi · 02-27-2012, 01:58 PM

yes your RHEL 4 has to be upgraded to RHEL 5 or 6 .Your RHEL 4 is old that is why you are not getting the updates through yum.

anomie · 02-27-2012, 02:23 PM

RHEL4 will no longer be supported in a couple days:

https://access.redhat.com/support/po...pdates/errata/

I recommend getting a migration plan together, post-haste, especially if this is a 'net-facing server.

chrism01 · 02-27-2012, 05:38 PM

Interestingly, you don't seem to be using RHEL repos if that out put is complete.
You are using epel, remi-test & remi .
You can check by looking at the files/dirs here

Code:

ls /etc|grep yum
yum
yum.conf
yum.repos.d

I'm not sure you'd want an xxx-test repo, especially if this is doing prod work.
You might be interested in Centos, which is a free rebuild of RHEL, inc updates, but of course no paid support.
In any case, as above, you really need to upgrade.

Hello Guys,
Thank you for the quick replies,

Quote:

well I've been planing for the upgrade to centos or RHEL 5 since i have the Licence for this one but right now its essential for our business, it has a relay and DNS on it, and it was done long time back, I came and found it like that,

anyway

Regarding the repo's i know i have enabled every repo available, except the ULN-Base.repo because this one requires ORACLE Client Linux Licence ( CSI # ) which is of course I don't have and as the dear REDHAT needs to be purchased as a " support ",
and i dont have the CD's to install it from there, so i'm stuck so far,

I would like Some help regarding this, I have tried to install it from rpm but no luck

I have downloaded it from
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gcc

I would walk away from RHEL 4 and start planning an update.

There are tricks where you can insert another kernel without rebooting, and red hat probably has them enabled. Personally, I would plan an outage and have a spare disk with the complete install ready.

Don't try to manually install rpms; that way madness lies...
As you've got a subscription, login to RH website and go to https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channels/All.do and select RHEL4 in the drop down boxes, then select the ISO(s) you need and download/burn, then https://code.google.com/p/iredmail/w...Yum_Repository.
