Please suggest me from where i can download the dependencies to install this software?

Hi Praveen,

Could you send the output of the following commands --

# cat /proc/cpu
# cat /proc/version

Also paste the output of ---

# rpm -q glibc -i

After this, we can try and suggest as to what needs to be done.

Summary : The GNU libc libraries.
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

two things to check:
1. Since your architecture is POWER, you really should use ppc version instead of x86_64 version. e.g., vim-minimal-6.3.046-0.40E.7:1.ppc
2. had you run ldconfig after installing glibc rpm?

[praveen..]

# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.9-34.EL (bhcompile@js20-bc1-8.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:46:57 EST 2006

#ldconfig
# uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.9-34.EL #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:46:57 EST 2006 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux


how to run * .ppc and from where i can download these softwares?

You are in dependency hell. I had the same problem trying to install MRTG. Your 1st best bet is to try to get yum, up2date, and/or apt-get running so you can bring your system up to date.

[George Liu_4]

I need you exact OS version. post the result here

cat /etc/redhat-release

I could send you a vim...ppc.rpm for you
