[Nottingham] k3b install, yum, gcc and libs

[David Wolfson]

I think I might be begining to understand now!  Too late for gcc, let the make for that run for most of the night!  Shame it was a waste of time!  As I've gone down that route, I might look at updating the libs anyway, but would also be interested in building an rpm... seems like a useful thing to know how to do...

Will be playing again this evening, so will let you know how I get on,

Dave

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.
