I am trying to install GCC on fedora 6. I tried following the instructions at this thread.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=481033

I can't use my cd drive... For some reason it does not show up (but thats another issue) so instead I coppied these files onto my hard drive

gcc-4.1.1-30.i386.rpm
gcc-java-4.1.1-30.i386.rpm
libgcj-devel-4.1.1-30.i386.rpm
libgomp-4.1.1-30.i386.rpm

I then changed the directory to the folder containing these files and then attempted to run them by using this comand

[root@d199-126-44-92 RPMS]# rpm -ivh gcc*.rpm

I get htis error

error: Failed dependencies:
libgomp = 4.1.1-30 is needed by gcc-4.1.1-30.i386
libgomp.so.1 is needed by gcc-4.1.1-30.i386
libgcj-devel = 4.1.1-30 is needed by gcc-java-4.1.1-30.i386


I am not sure if what I am doing is way out to lunch or what... I am new to this stuff... I thought I had the right files in the folder... Can any one give some guidence.

Thanks

It says what it's wrong.

Change the order of installation and install libwhatever first and last gcc.

May I ask the possibly stupid question why so many people install a gcc? I do that every 5 years and only under very specific circumstances - my gcc is just part of my distribution and even though I know how to compile and install it, I rarely touch the thing...

Isn't that part of your distribution?!

If you have a good internet connection, just do
