HELP!! glibc_2.4 and glibc_post_upgrade dependencies

[seth_turner_04]

I'm on SuSe 10.0. I've tred to install AMSN, but it asks for the glibc_2.4 dependency. I downloaded glibc_2.4, but when I try to install it with, Yast it says I need glibc_post_upgrade. I've looked and can't find it from any of the repositories or the rpmfinder website.

Can somebody post the link to download it? I'm pulling my hair out just trying to install AMSN on linux. Every dependency has another dependency and it just keeps going on and on.

I added a bunch of repositories to Yast, but none of them have the file I need.

Thanks anybody that can help.

I read where I should of installed "build-essential" when I installed SuSe, but I did not. How do I install it now that I already have Suse installed? I haven't been able to find a .rpm for it, only a .deb file for Debian.

OK I got to looking and it says that /usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade is not available. When I look in the /usr/sbin directory though, glibc_post_upgrade is in there. Do I need to change permissions on it or something? Why does it says it not available when it's right there?

Should I just ignore the warnings and install glibc_2.4? I read that updating libraries can easily goof up your system.

Nobody? I played with it some more and still couldn't figure it out.


I put SuSE 10.0 on a desktop machine, setup all the repositories, refreshed and tried installing all new packages. There were a whole bunch of depency issues that popped up then.

Does SuSE throw a ton of dependency problems out like that everything something gets installed or what? I thought that everything auto-resolved if you had the respositories setup right?
