I have CentOS 5.4 installed in VMware (downloaded already prepared appliance http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/#centos5.4)
I am trying to follow instructions:
[url=http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux4and5.php]OracleDB11gR1InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux4and5.php[/url]
When i try to install glibc-devel-2.* i do get following error:
[b][root@localhost CentOS]# rpm -Uvh glibc-devel-2.*
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.5-42 is needed by glibc-devel-2.5-42.i386
glibc-headers = 2.5-42 is needed by glibc-devel-2.5-42.i386[/b]
I did try to install missing packages, but i do get message, that they already exist.
I do have installed (according to list of installed packages in Add/Remove sw):
glibc-2.5-42.el5_4.2.I686
glibc-common-2.5-42.el5_4.2.I386
glibc-headers-2.5-42.el5_4.2.I386
Is the problem, that i have I686 glibc instead I386?
If i try to install I386 it conflicts.

problem installing required package (glibc-devel-2.*)
Welcome to the CentOS fora. You should be using yum to update or install. Using RPM to manually satisfy dependencies is labor-intensive and error-prone. Do the required reading, including [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14408&forum=47]Installing Software[/url].
Before doing anything else, update as follows:
[code]
yum clean all
yum update glibc\*
yum update
shutdown -r now[/code]

I did find "yum clean all", but I was missing following steps.
Now it successfully installed glibc-devel-2.5-42.el5_4.2.i386.rpm. I hope this is the right one :)
Thank you. Yum seems to be much more advanced and smart.

You have, in essence, summed up [i]yum[/i] -- it is an intelligent front-end to [i]rpm[/i]. :-)
