libc6.so.6 is the c library. This is not the same as gcc. You have 
installed a different version of gcc, but still have the same libc 
version installed.

The problem is the k3b rpm you have downloaded appears to be compiled for 
a more recent version of glibc than you have installed. You probably don't 
want to try upgrading glibc. It's painful.

Perhaps the simplest solution would be to go back to where you got the rpm 
from and look for a source rpm and build it yourself with:

rpmbuild --rebuild blah.src.rpm

All being well, that will give you a binary rpm which will work on your 
system. (and you shouldn't then need the libselinux rpm either hopefully)

Cheers,
Martin.
