It is always better to give all necessary details to get your answers as quickly as possible.

what are you trying to do using rpm when this error pops up?

what is your distro?

and how are you becoming root ?
"su" or "su -"
or
text only ( no gui ) logging in as root

Hello ,

Sorry for not providing with complete information . Actually i have permission to login as super user and when i am trying to query any rpm (Ex : rpm -qa | grep kernel ) then it is thoroughgoing out the above mentioned error. so what should i do ?


Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3
kernel: 2.4.21-15.ELsmp

Thanks and Regards,
Raghavendra.Eranki.

you are aware that "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3"
is no longer supported
Red Hat retired it in October 2010 ,end of standard life cycle
it is past " End Of Life "

from a search of google for that error
( something you should DO --- without the "" )
"relocation error: /lib/i686/librt.so.1: symbol __pthread_clock_settime "

it looks like a mix of old and new(er) versions of some things

librt is built for a DIFFERENT version of glibc

if you are paying red hat for the EXTENDED life support ( this goes to 2013 ) then contact red hat
but seeing as rhel3 is End of Life ????

have the "higher ups" buy RHEL 6.2 and install a modern operating system

Thank you,
