    Having trouble installing elfutil-libelf

    While trying to install , using rpm -Uvh , the rpm
    for elfutil-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5
    on redhat linux, it fails on dependencies, saying
    error: Failed dependencies:
    elfutils-libelf-i386 = 0.137-3.el5 is needed.
    Does any one know where can I look for the package it is complaining about. I am new to Linux?
    Thanks.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You need to get the rpm for elfutils-libelf-i386 and install that before you install the devel package. That said, use the yum package manager to install the devel package since that will also install the dependencies unless for some reason they conflict with other software already installed, in which case you will be told what those packages are. In any case, elfutils-libelf and elfutils-libelf-devel are part of the base repository, so you should have access to them. With current RHEL and derived systems, rpm has been deprecated in favor of yum.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
