Interdependencies...

I'm trying to install an RPM, and it says this:

[root@Linux ed]# rpm -ivh /home/ed/Files/qt-devel-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm
warning: /home/ed/Files/qt-devel-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a
error: Failed dependencies:
qt = 1:3.1.1-6 is needed by qt-devel-3.1.1-6

I found that file on this page:

http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/qt.html?hl=com&cs=qt:PN:0:0:0

In the chart it lists "qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm" under RedHat 9, and "qt-3.0.5-17.i386.rpm" under RedHat 8. I just have RedHat 8. Does this mean I can't use qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm, or would it still work?

I need to get qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm so I can get qt-devel-3.1.1-6. I need qt-devel-3.1.1-6 and kdelibs-6-3.1-7 so I can get kdelibs-devel-3.1-7, which, in union with qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm will allow me to get Karamba. -_-

It will work. The problem might be upgrading the KDE libs. I don't know if they have made any dramatic changes in the newer versions, but if they have, they might become incompatible with your current programs. They shouldn't have been that clumpsy, though.

I tried to install qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm. It returns:

error: Failed dependencies:
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by qt-3.1.1-6

Is that something that I could download and install?

I'm pretty sure that you already have libpthread. Is your version of glibc too old, maybe?

Well, it does specifically say "GLIBC_2.3.2", so that could be it. I searched all over the place for it but I can't find it.

Great, I got that one. Now the problem is that I installed the wrong RPM, and it won't let me overwrite that with the one I need to use. @_@ There's a topic about it in the Admin section.
