Hi Friends !
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.
I checked up with rpm docs and cud understand that in the above
rpm, _2.96_ is supposed to be the major number.
Then in order to upgrade the current installation of rpm, which I
thought cud be the cause of the trouble, I tried to use the rpm
installation binary available from the same CD. I got the same
error for it. In fact, I got the same error for all the packages
that I tried to install/upgrade.
What cud be wrong here? I'm not supposed to remove the current
installation, nor do I have direct CD-Drive access to this m/c.
Thanks a lot in advance
Regards,
Kinjal Sonpal
