glibc Dependency Issue
I am attempting to install glibc-2.5.34.i386.rpm on RHEL 5 (necessary in order to install gcc, which in turn is needed to install Apache server). I mounted the RHEL 5 iso to /mnt and copied over the relevant RPM files to a separate directory). When I run rpm -ivh glibc-2.5-34.i386.rpm I am getting a dependency error stating the following:

Welcome to LQ.
Touching the glibc packages manually isn't recommended. Most often applies for a reinstall of the OS. But if you are lucky, these should be usable ( latast updates.) The update mirror ( EL5, free version = CentOS 5.3 ) http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ Apache = httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm is also in 'update'. Code:
glibc-2.5-34.el5_3.1.i386.rpm 15-Aug-2009 14:01 4.4M http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/ ..... |
glibc is impossible to install unless you do it with a rescue CD; and even then it is not recommended. glibc is the heart of the OS. It is the general C libraries. Like 90% of all programs depend on it. It is better to just upgrade to OS.
