hi...

when doing the >yum install gcc-3.4.2-6

i get the yum output....

.
.
.
--> Processing Dependency: libgcj-devel= 4.0.0-1 for package: gcc-java
--> Processing Dependency: libreadline.so.4 for package: cdecl

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.4 is needed by package cdecl
Error: Missing Dependency: gcc is needed by package gcc-g77


which appears strange... becaue i also get


[root at lserver2 rpm]# rpm -qa | grep gcc
libgcc-3.4.3-22.fc3
gcc-g77-3.4.3-22.fc3
gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.fc3
gcc32-3.2.3-6
libgcc-3.4.2-6.fc3
gcc-gnat-3.4.3-22.fc3
gcc-java-3.4.3-22.fc3
gcc-3.4.3-22.fc3


here, i actually seem to have a number of gcc related packages... but i
don't see the gcc-3.4.3-6. now, i do see the gcc-3.4.3-22.fc3 which would be
the updated package.. so i can see that this would be correct...

and when i do a 'yum list gcc' yum states that the gcc..fc3 is installed.

so my question. why the dependency issues/err msgs...??? what are they
really saying?

i was assuming that the msgs were stating that yum needed a gcc package, as
well as the package for the 'libreadline.so.4'... which is also in the
fedora updates section...

thanks

bruce

Try this first:

yum list gcc

-sv
