It looks like you tried to install the x86_64 and src rpm's. What I meant to say is that you should install both the x86_64 and i386 rpm's (given of course that you have a 64 bit system). The src tarball only contains rpm's that contain source code and instructions for creating the installable rpm's in the glibc-2.5-65.el5.i386.tar.gz and glibc-2.5-65.el5.x86_64.tar.gz tarballs.
If I recall correctly, the x86_64 rpms actually depend on the i386 rpms. 64 bit systems definitely need both 32 and 64 bit versions of glibc. It's probably a good idea not to have a version mismatch between the two. In case something goes wrong (there's no guarantee that something will, however), you should unpack the i386 tarball and install everything in it as before. Also, rpm -Uvh threw an error on encountering src rpm's, but again, those don't do anything. -Alex On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 9:44 AM, Ricardo Finger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Alex and Ivan. > Thanks for your help. > Now the system is compiling! > > I finally installed glibc 2.6-65 from Alex's link, but I had to use the > --nodeps option to go through i.e: > > rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --nodeps *.rpm > > it might not be totally advisable to deactivate the dependencies > checking.... but it worked! > > Cheers, > > Ricardo. > > > > On 10-10-2012 9:37, Ricardo Finger wrote: > > Hello Alex, > > I downloaded and extracted glibc-2.5-65.el5.x86_64.tar.gz and > glibc-2.5-65.src.rpm.tar.gz to the same directory and run rpm, but it seems > it doesn't work: please see the log. > I tried to compile after that, but the same error appears. > > [root@suseradio glibc-2.5-65.el5.x86_64.tar.gz_FILES]# ls > glibc-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm glibc-headers-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm > glibc-common-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm glibc-utils-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm > glibc-debuginfo-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm nscd-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm > glibc-devel-2.5-65.x86_64.rpm > [root@suseradio glibc-2.5-65.el5.x86_64.tar.gz_FILES]# > [root@suseradio glibc-2.5-65.el5.x86_64.tar.gz_FILES]# rpm -Uvh > --oldpackage *.rpm > warning: glibc-2.5-65.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 192a7d7d > error: Failed dependencies: > glibc-common = 2.5-81.el5_8.7 is needed by (installed) > glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.i686 > [root@suseradio glibc-2.5-65.el5.x86_64.tar.gz_FILES]# > > > > > On 08-10-2012 18:56, Alex Zahn wrote: > > The latest version is too new, and the oldest version in the repositories > now is too new as well. > > I built the newest compatible glibc rpms and put them at > betacage.caltech.edu > > If you download and unpack the two non-source tarballs to the same > directory, you can install the rpms just with > > rpm -Uvh --oldpackage *.rpm > > -Alex > > On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 3:24 PM, Ricardo Finger <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello Alex, >> >> Running yum install glibc I am getting this: >> >> Package glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64 already installed and latest version >> Package glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.i686 already installed and latest version >> >> so it seem i am working with 2.5, which it seems to be the latest >> version in the repository I have. >> is it too new? >> >> I tried: >> yum downgrade glibc >> but it failed with a missing dependency error. >> >> Ricardo. >> >> >> On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 6:58 PM, Alex Zahn <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Do you know what version of glibc you have?
