Glibc

prongs_386 · 07-04-2007, 10:11 PM

Hi, I am running Mandriva linux 2007 Spring.
I want the KDevelop 3.4 but i need KDESDK for that, the latest version of KDESDK says it needs:
GLIBC_XX.3.4.9

My version is 2.4.8-mdv2007.1

So i'd have to update glibc which I'm not really sure how to go about it... but also i didnt know that glibc had a version 3.4.9

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks

look for the version of glibc - google is good, in RPM format, then install. A good reference is to run:

man rpm

Cheers,

I think you're right - 2.6 seems to be the latest.

Perhaps re-download kdesdk and try again - did you verify the checksum or equivalent?

Here's a handy way of solving dependency issues, go to RPM Search and put "KDevelop-3.4" in the search field, hit search. The next page will show you this package for Mandriva 2007.1 in two forms, "mdv, mde", the "mde" has "info available", click on "info available". The next page shows you all of it's dependencies under "requires", libstdc++.so.6 is the package you need, click on it and download it, or install it via GUI rpmdrake.

Here's and easier way yet:
Go here and set up your repositories, then install "kdevelop-3.4" via rpmdrake and it will install it with all dependencies. Or install it via command line after repositories are set up with this one simple command:

Code:

urpmi kdevelop-3.4
