glibc-devel rpm help

[zima]

I am running RH EL4

I have to install glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.20.i386.rpm to get /usr/lib/crt1.o crti.o and crtn.o

1. I downloaded the rpm and ran rpm -i

I get the following message:

error: Failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.3.2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.20.i386
glibc-headers = 2.3.2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.20.i386

2. To try to fix the dependencies, I downloaded

glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i686.rpm glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.20.x86_64.rpm

3. Then running
# rpm -i glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i686.rpm

give me this error

error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.2-95.20 is needed by glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i686
glibc < 2.3.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.4-2.x86_64

4. Any ideas on how to fix this or what is the correct procedure?

Thanks
Zim

The file can reside anywhere, but keeping an archive of installed rpm's is good. You need to satisfy the dependencies before installing the devel package though, just download the versions it says it needs.

I downloaded these two rpms
glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i686.rpm glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.20.x86_64.rpm

and now get a different error of a conflict

# rpm -i glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.2-95.20 is needed by glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i686
glibc < 2.3.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.4-2.x86_64

Where these the correct rpms to download? which one should be run first glibc-headers or glibc?
I'll get glibc-common and try again

Did you notice that you are mixing 64 bit and 32 glibc rpms which is why you got the error in your last post. What you should have done is

$rpm -qa | grep -i glibc

A list of glibc related packages and their versions will be listed. Download and install the glibc-devel package that matches the version of glibc you have on your system

Thisis what I get with rpm -qa

# rpm -qa | grep -i glibc
glibc-2.3.4-2
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.87
glibc-2.3.4-2
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2
glibc-common-2.3.4-2
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2


I need to install an rpm that will give me the 32 bit version of /usr/lib/crt*

Someone suggested glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.20.i386 but obviously this idea does not work.

Would a reinstall of RHEL4 get me the 32 bit version of the lib?

I have the 32 bit version of CentOS 4.x which is rebuild of RHEL and glibc-devel provides the files you want.
