did u download the new version of modutils? u'd need modutils-2.4.6
Hi guys,
I tried installing modutils-2.4.6-2.i386.rpm
it gave me failed dependencies zlib >= 1.1.3-16 is needed awk is needed libc.so.6(GLIBC-2.13) is needed.
i couldn't find awk instead found mawk-1.3.3-19-i686.rpm (is it ok to install i386 as well as i686 on the same m/c. I have a P3.
I then tried installing zlib-1.1.3-22.i386.rpm it gave me failed dependencies libc.so.6(GLIBC-2.13) is needed.
So if figured glibc is very much required and tried installing glibc-2.2.2-10.i386.rpm it gave me failed dependencies glibc >=2.1.3 conflicts with rpm-3.0.6.6x
I was able to install rpm-3.0.6.6x what do i do next ?? install higher version of rpm? am i going in circles ?
Noel.

mawk is fine. It is what is used normally. Awk (the real awk) can be got from Brian Kernighan's site at AT&T.

You'd install only one of them. Since you have a P3, it shouldn't make a difference.

was this 2.13 or 2.1.3?

You're going to start going round in circles. You'll try to install rpm-4, but that will have other problems, then you'll have to install db3, but db2 is required by sendmail, then you'll install db2 and db3 and find db1 is still required by programs.
Just get glibc, glibc-common and glibc-devel. Don't worry about rpm conflicts, it will still work. If you upgrade rpm however, you'll have problems.
I had this situation yesterday, and my system was in an inconsistent state for about 15 minutes until I patched things up. Now I have a whole load of libraries that I probably don't need.

There's also gawk - GNU awk. I got it with RH 6.2. Awk is a symlink to gawk, on my system.

Then there's MKS awk (Mortice Kern Systems) which is not the same as mawk, oawk (original distributed by AT&T), nawk (new awk with SCO).
mawk is mike's awk.
Each of them have differences in the way they process stuff.
