[newbie] strange installation issue..
Hi all, I just tried to install sfio-1999-3mdk.i586.rpm onto my 7.2mdk box It gave me this message.. error: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by sfio-1999-3mdk so I did did a: locate libc.so.6 and it found it at 3 places.. like so: /lib/libc.so.6 /var/ftp/lib/libc.so.6 /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/libc.so.6 Since it appears to be there... why am I getting this message?? I tryed doing a rpm --rebuilddb to see if it would make a difference, but it didn't. can anyone help me out here...?? I am trying to install the mdk8 version of sendmail, as the 7.2 one is broken... (please don't start a thing about postfix vs sendmail, I have way to many perl scripts setup to use sendmail to change them all over.) I have been unable to rebuild the src rpms for the above with these messages... which I assume is caused by my compiler being to old... so I guess I am going for the binary rpm this is the message I got at the end of the failed compile: + echo 'Patch #0 (sendmail-8.11.0-redhat.patch.bz2):' Patch #0 (sendmail-8.11.0-redhat.patch.bz2): + /usr/bin/bzip2 -d + patch -p1 -b --suffix .redhat -s /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.85517: patch: command not found Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.85517 (%prep) but the other error would be great to know the reason for... many thanks and kindest regards Frank Perth WA
Re: [newbie] strange installation issue..
Ah, yes, you have libc.so.6, BUT ... I betcha it's just a link to an older version than 2.2! I have received the same message when trying to install certain rpms; tried to fix it by updating my glibc package to 2.2 but there are other dependencies that rpm -Uvh complains about. I guess I'm just going to upgrade to LM8. When it first came out, I saw mostly complaints about incompatibilities, but the 'reviews' are getting better. I hope it supports my USB printer and parallel port scanner ... haven't had any luck with either in 7.2 ... I'll never get the Windows monkey off my back until everything I use is completely supported in LM.

RE: [newbie] strange installation issue..
Well, I am wondering if I have to upgrade it or can I install it side by side with the old one? I don't care what I have to do,, I need to get sendmail sorted, and it appears that the only way to do it is to install a newer one,, and since the newest one seems from reading to be alot more secure then it was, it makes sense to go with that... If I have to force glibc to update, I guess I'm doing it,, don't have a choice... either that or I will just keep downloading the required packages until it stops complaining...
