tyme Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 aight, so I want to install blender, but, to do so I need glibc 2.3.1 well, trying to install the newer version of glibc, first attempt looks like this: [root@riesling Downloads]# rpm -ivh glibc* error: failed dependencies: initscripts < 6.91-18mdk conflicts with glibc-2.3.1-6mdk ok, let's try using urpmi and see if it picks up anything. well, it does, sort of..... The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded: 3ddesktop-0.2.4-2tex AlephOne-0.12.0-5mdk Guppi-0.40.3-5mdk ImageMagick-5.4.8.3-2mdk Maelstrom-3.0.5-8mdk NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90up OpenOffice.org-1.0.1-9mdk <snip-there are a LOT more, but you get the point> do you agree ? (Y/n) n yeah, i wasn't about to uninstall all that crap. and xfree86 is in there somewhere too. so, i think, why not try to upgrade it? nope... [root@riesling Downloads]# rpm -Uvh glibc* error: failed dependencies: initscripts < 6.91-18mdk conflicts with glibc-2.3.1-6mdk glibc = 2.2.5 is needed by locales-2.3.1.3-7mdk glibc = 2.2.5 is needed by locales-2.3.1.3-7mdk glibc = 2.2.5-16mdk is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.5-16mdk so...i have no idea what to try next. i don't want to uninstall all that crap, i'm worried specifically about the initscripts dependency, afraid I'll break something. anyone have any ideas or know a way to get blender working? thanks!

tyme Posted January 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 This v of blender needsld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6 i know :) i'm trying to find a way to get the version of libc.so.6 (apparently it wants glibc 2.3.x) installed, but the dependencies are very odd.
