Hello
I'm currently using Centos-5.5 and is x86_64. I want to install the c compilers gcc. But an error is showing.

--> Running transaction check
---> Package glibc.x86_64 0:2.5-49.el5_5.2 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-49.el5_5.2 for package: glibc
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-49 for package: glibc

glibc-2.5-49.i686 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-49 is needed by package
glibc-2.5-49.i686 (installed)

Please someone help...

what are you actually running for that output? on 64bit systems it's common to have installed i386 and x86_64 packages with a common dependency which is only being changed on one side. try upgrading both explicitly - "yum update glibc.i686 glibx.x86_64" and that will hopefully pull everything up inline.

I just tried to update all packages by using #yum update. But it only ends up in the another error.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package

Hope some one can provide some help........

Hai Chris
I did what you have said.

ahh cmon that was clearly a typo! glibc.

Hello
When I try to install glibc. I get the following error
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -ivh glibc-2.5-58.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.5-58 is needed by glibc-2.5-58.x86_64
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.5-58.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.5-58 is needed by glibc-2.5-58.x86_64

don't install rpm;s that way, use rpm.

Hello Chris
I have downloaded the packages glibc but not able to install via shell or gui. I didn't understand what you have said in the earlier post. Could you please explain a bit more..

[root@localhost ~]# yum update glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64

Hai
I have given the command you have said. The error is as follows

I have got some success. I have removed glibc-common-2.5-49.x86_64 and installed glibc-common-2.5-49.x86_64. Thanks for your immediate response.
