Red Hat package manager problem

[Ineedhelplinux]

Im trying to install the development tools the the package manager on red hat 8.0. When i go to install it it says i need the file krb5-libs=1.2.5-6. So i went to install the rpm and it says i already have newer version of the file. So i went and tried to install the development tools again and it still says the same thing. I really need a compiler and this isnt working. I would really really appreciate the help. Thanks.

ehh i dont know, i'll probably get yelled at for saying this, but if you really want to try it you could force the install of the development tools even if RH says you need a package...

from the command line do rpm -ivh --force packagename.rpm

might screw things up if it really *does* need it though :\
heh i dont know im pretty new anyway

or if you dont like the command line just get gnorpm, much better than the included RH8 package manager and itll tell you what you need/allow you to force install, etc

I don't know if Kerberos authentication is running as a deamon
or how it works but just uninstall the one you have now
then install the older one...........
then proceed
if it's a deamon then stop it first before you can uninstall it

alternatively since the newer version was from redhat updates
presumably the devel tools also have coresponding updates that fit with it.

get them (the latest ones) and install them instead of the original ones.

Where should i go to get these updated development tools. And does anyone know if that idea of overriding the file is a good idea????

Does anyone have any idea about this i would really appreciate the help.

You could register with Redhat, then use up2date to get all the relevant pkgs up to date (sic). That should give you a working system.
BTW, up2date automatically includes dependencies for any given pkg you choose. :)
