hi all!
i want to install glibc and it's dependencies in FC_4 ,and i have all the required packages on my hard.
i tried to installing with yum ,and to this end disabled both the fedora-extra & fedora-update and create repositories using createrepo command ,i also set the baseurl in yum.conf and fedora.repo to the location of libraries .
but there exist some error to doing that!
is the steps i've done correct?

not sure about the yum idea but if you have all the packages and the dependencies in one folder why not install with the rpm command

cd /folder/with/rpms
rpm -Uhv *.rpm

i've tried it before but i encontered with a several requirment libraries indeed while installing them more libraries and so on,at last i've got the following error while installing all at once:

any suggestion ?

Sorry if I'm missing something but why can't you just use the packages that are part of the fedora core and update repos?

I don't have fedora 4 anymore but in 5 I have the following (if you are wanting to develop stuff make sure you have the -devel packages installed.)

#list installed packages with
rpm -qa | grep glib

glibc-common-2.4-8
glibc-devel-2.4-8
glib-java-0.2.5-0.FC5
glib-1.2.10-18.2.2
taglib-1.4-2.fc5
glibc-headers-2.4-8
avahi-glib-0.6.10-1.FC5
glibc-kernheaders-3.0-5.2
taglib-devel-1.4-2.fc5
dbus-glib-0.61-3.fc5.1
NetworkManager-glib-0.6.3-1.fc5
glib-devel-1.2.10-18.2.2
glib2-2.10.3-1
glib2-devel-2.10.3-1
glibc-2.4-8


As for your errors
this is saying you already have glibc-2.4-4 and glibc-common-2.4-4 installed.
