yum problem

[Kay Diederichs]

Dear all,




I know this file is in glibc-devel.i686 so I try

% yum install glibc-devel.i686

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

so there's no problem at all. Both machines produce identical output of
% rpm -qa glibc-\*
glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.x86_64

thanks for any insight!

to be able to do 32bit-compilation/linking (e.g. using gfortran -m32) on a 64bit machine I need /usr/lib/crt1.o . --> Processing Dependency: glibc = 2.12-1.7.el6 for package: glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 --> Processing Dependency: glibc-headers = 2.12-1.7.el6 for package: glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 What is the underlying problem? rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest does not produce any output. On a different machine I can Package Arch Version Repository Size glibc-devel i686 2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 sl-security 960 k glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.i686.rpm | 960 kB 00:01 Installing : glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.i686 1/1 glibc-devel.i686 0:2.12-1.7.el6_0.3
