Re: [ILUG-BOM] Problems with installing GCC

I'm trying to install gcc-2.96-84.i386.rpm ( taken from the PCQ Linux CD) on a RHL 6.2 (zoot ?) m/c.

The

installation is almost a yr old and it does not have

any of the development tools as well

as compiler ..

When I issue the following command

$ rpm -i gcc-2.96-84.i386.rpm

I get the following error

Error : The current version of rpm only supports

packages having major number <= 3.

Install the upgrade RPM, I will mail you the upgrade rpm on your e-mail ID. I am not sure whether this version is available for download, but I have it on my disk.

Run the foll. as root.

# rpm -Uvh rpm-3_0_5-9_6x_i386.rpm

This will upgrade your rpm. Installing the gcc rpm may then work.
