Thumbs up Upgrade GCC on RH/Linux 6.2
I've installed all the dependency for gcc 2.95.1 and when I attempt to install the rpm gcc-2.95.1 I keep getting this message:

bash$ rpm -ivh gcc-2.95.1-i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

Red Hat Linux release 6.2
Kernel 2.4.10 on an i686

Thanks,

Mickalo

Try to remove the offending files by rpm:
rpm -rv egcs-1.1.2-30
, and then install gcc using the usual
rpm -ihv gcc-2.95.1-i386.rpm

If that doesn't work, do
rpm -ihv --force --nodeps gcc-2.95.1-i386.rpm
It is rather dangerous as it will overwrite anything and won't check for any dependencies, including dep.s that get broken by the installation process.

Well I tried that:
Code:
rpm -ev egcs-1.1.2-30                                    
error: package egcs-1.1.2-30 is not installed


Go figure!

Maybe it's best to leave well enough alone! As they say, "..if it works.. don't fix it.."

appreciate you help tho..

OK, let's give up on the issue of files being overwritten and simply install the new stuff no matter what happens.

My favourite syntax for RPM is:
rpm -ihv --force --nodeps gcc-2.95.1-i386.rpm
It always works
