I located the gcc-2.95.1-3 rpm and tried to install it, but
apparently I don't have two packages I need:
error: failed dependencies:
binutils >= 2.9.5.0.12 is needed by gcc-2.95.1-3
cpp = 2.95.1 is needed by gcc-2.95.1-3
I got and installed the cpp-2.95.1-3 rpm, but got the following
error when I tried to install binutils-2.9.5.0.27-2.i386.rpm:
unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/ldscripts: cpio:
unlink failed - Is a directory
What on earth does this mean?
