I'm trying to upgrade my 6.2 server. What I really want is a current kernel (I'm running 2.2.14.)
Right now I'm in the Linux (or at least Red Hat) version of 'DLL-Hell'. I gues we'd call it 'RPM-Hell'. The server currently has rpm 3.0.4. Most of the RPMs on the updates site require RPM 4 or above. I try to install rpm-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm and I get a failed dependency. Need libdb-3.1 or higher. That's in glibc. Try to install glibc-2.1.3-28.i386.rpm. Failed dependency. Need rpm 4.0.1 or higher. I think you can see where this is going. Try to install glibc and rpm in the same command line: rpm -Uvh glibc*.rpm rpm*.rpm Server goes away. No response to ssh from any other machine. No response to anything. Power cycle. I can download a vanilla kernel from kernel.org and build it by hand. But it's still not going to solve the rpm version problem. Does anyone have an idea how to bring the RPM version on this machine up to a point where I can use rpms from update.redhat.com? -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Steve Garcia using MR/2 ICE #10133 with Warp 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] For PGP key, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "PGP key" ----------------------------------------------------------- The Operating System/2 Version is 4.50 Revision 14.062 There are 39 Processes with 144 Threads.
