missing dependencies

as per the information given the libraries are not present in the system.
try to install all the libararies shown and update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Anyway there is a hard way to overcome the dependencies issue like
use --nodeps option along with the rpm command

U can get the rpm resources from Google with exact name search.
Give a try using
rpm -Uvh ( it will upgrade on the existing rpm)

Hi emperorlinux,

It has been my experience that trying to upgrade to current version in RedHat/Fedora using yum is challenging to say the very least. I suppose it is doable, but I've tried on more than one occasion and problems always seemed to multiply as fast as I tried to address them. Unless this is a "project" you are undertaking for the purpose of learning more about your distro (and that is a good reason), I'd recommend upgrading from install CD/DVD to current which will cause a lot less headaches. Good luck.

Hi all,

I have read that many people are not happy to upgrade their linux using yum.
However, I have just done this with my old FC5 distribution as emperorlinux
and it worked perfectly! I was very impressed.
I found these two links pretty helpful:
YumUpgradeFaq - Fedora Project Wiki
Upgrade FC5 to FC6 with yum @ IONCANNON
Third party rpms seem to be a problem. I also had one dependency issue. In order
to solve it, I just deinstalled the rpm and kept going. After your upgrade you can
try to install it again.

Is there any reason you cannot just download Fedora current ISOs burn them and install over what you have? Is your /home on a separate partition? If so, the install will be a piece of cake and you can be done with all this frustration.
