Welcome to LQ.

The packages you are trying to install are three years old.
The current update version : glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7
And : One package is missing : 'kernel-headers'.

How about : # yum install glibc-devel.i386

If you want to use 'rpm -Uvh', please use chain install :
# rpm -Uvh <package>.rpm <package>.rpm <package>.rpm
Required when the packages depend on each other : "Circular dependency".

Migrate the OS to the free version = CentOS

(The main action is to point the repo files to the identical CentOS packages.)
