Overriding the dependencies gets you past the SNMP problem which is safe, but also ignores the dependency on glibc.
Bad. Glibc is the library which contains most of the functions used by c programs, i.e. most of the system level code. It's rarely compatible at the API level, so if you ignore it, you'll either get error messages like you have, or (worse - code that doesn't check) - strange crashes and problems... You can update your glibc - download the packages from redhat, chasing any dependencies. Start by downloading glibc itself and try to update your system. It will fail with lots of dependencies. Download those updates and try again. Eventually you end up with a set of package updates that rpm will accept. On my minimal RH8 development system, the dependencies show as: $ rpm -q glibc glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6 $ rpm -q --whatrequires glibc authconfig-4.2.12-3 ppp-2.4.1-7 timeconfig-3.2.9-1 glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80.6 glibc-utils-2.3.2-4.80.6 IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-3.0 Or you can just download the source and build ntop from that, which may be easier. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Salvatore Basso Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 10:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] Pacchetto perl - snmp Hi, I have made the installation of rrdtool using the option -- nodeps and therefore they are successful to install it, but when I execute ntop I have the message of following error: ntop : /lib/i686/libthread.so.0: version 'GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libntopreport-2.2.so) ntop : /lib/i686/libthread.so.0: version 'GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libntop-2.2.so) also I have read your answer to an other similar question and therefore I have made the following controls: ls -l libssl* libssl3.so libssl.a libssl.so --> ../../lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b rpm -q openssl -l | grep libssl /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b rpm -q --whatprovides /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b openssl-0.9.6b-29 but where mistake? thanks for the patience! - Salvatore ----- Original Message ----- From: "Burton M.
