Install the upgrade RPM, I will mail you the upgrade rpm on your e-mail ID. I am not sure whether this version is available for download, but I have it on my disk.
Thnks for the rpm. I cud upgrade the RPM properly.
This will upgrade your rpm. Installing the gcc rpm may then work.
This still does not work. Actually there looks to be some dependancies associated with gcc. In order to satisfy those dependancies, I was asked to upgrade/install binutils, cpp, and glibc packages, which again gave me some more dependancy problems.
I think rather than upgrading/installing separate packages, I might be better off with upgrading entire installation. I have the PCQ CDs with me. Will this be a good idea? I can't afford to remove the current installation, mainly becoz there're no means to back-up the current data.
This is precisely the reason why some of us have chosen the model of Debian distro, and the superb apt-get technology. Not to open a distro war, but to inform people here that these problems are solved ingeniously already.
