View Full Version : Special version of glibc & glibc-common in LUX5 appliance

I am building a custom appliance based on LUX5. I specifically chose LUX5 because of its small disk footprint. I resized the file system and then began to add the packages I needed. I ran into a problem when I needed to add gcc. Yum install gcc failed with a dependency resolution problem with glibc and glibc-common.

Yum list extras gives the following report

glibc.i386 2.5-12.1 installed
glibc-common.i386 2.5-12.1 installed
xen-ukrnl.i386 3.2-2 installed
xen-umods.i386 3.2-2 installed

When I ran yum install gcc it was specifically looking for glibc-2.5-12.i386 not .1

The version of glibc and glibc-common appear to be non-standard. Is their some reason for this? By downgrading to 2.5-12 what am I losing if anything?


Thanks,

Dave
