I was trying to install GCC4.4.2 in my CentOS.I was installing the dependency libgcc-4.4.2-7.fc12.i686.rpm.When i tried to install, it gave the following missing dependency error.
Error: Missing Dependency: rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by package libgcc
Error: Missing Dependency: rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by package libgcc

what this rpmlib(FileDigests) and rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) means.I couldnt find these rpm in the list.Please help me what should i do?

Quite simple : You will not be able to use Fedora 12
packages on CentOS 5.x. They depend on glibc-2.11.
CentOS 5.x has glibc-2.5. (Which cannot be changed.)

So you have just been lucky, that the packages also
require a quite different "rpm command".
Cannot be installed with the old CentOS 'rpm'.

The latest update, CentOS 5.5: gcc44-4.4.0-6.
