[Yum] yum quesiton -pt 2... trying to do a 'yum install foo'

[bruce]

ok...

now i am confused..

when i do the original 'yum install php-5.0.6-4'

i get the yum output.. which ends in the following...

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: gcc= 3.4.3-22.fc3 for package: gcc-g77
--> 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

the strange thing is that when i do an 'rpm -qa | grep readline'
 i get the 'readline-4.3-13' which has the actual 'libreadline.so.4'

i also can see that gcc is installed using the sam rpm command...

so, if these apps are installed on my system, what's yum really saying. or
is it possible that something's corrupted, and yum is just confused?

is there some yum database that i can blow away/recreate/repair????

ideas/comments/etc...

thanks

-bruce

hi...

when doing the >yum install gcc-3.4.2-6

i get the yum output....

.

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
