I am trying to install packages, but I keep getting dependency errors.

I already installed the EPEL, IUS, REMI repos.

Example:

yum install gcc

and I get 

Error: Package: devtoolset-2-gcc-4.8.2-15.1.el6.x86_64 (slc6-devtoolset) requires: glibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12 (and other dependencies)

and when I try to install glibc (or the other dependencies)

yum install glibc-devel*

I get 

no package glibc-devel* available. Nothing to do. yum list installed |grep glibc*

does not show any glibc-devel installed.

RHEL Version = 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

  • Do an update "# yum update" Commented Oct 20, 2014 at 9:26
  • Please add the output of yum repolist all to your question. Commented Oct 20, 2014 at 11:18
  • You should be installing the gcc package from slc6-os.repo or slc6-updates.repo, then the dependancies will be provided from there too rather than using the devtoolset version. Commented Oct 20, 2014 at 11:26
  • @geedoubleya I looked for instructions for downloading and installing the slc6-os repo but found none. On cern's own site (linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific6/docs/softwaremgmt.shtml) I found the text for the .repo file and created it in my /etc/yum.repos.d, but when I did a yum update - I got 1200+ updates and 422M! I cancelled that, and tried "yum install gcc" and it downloaded the 12 files, but failed during the GPGKey check. I compared the gpgkey check line to the one in an existing "slc6-devtoolset" on my system, and it matched. not sure why it's failing or what to try next Commented Oct 22, 2014 at 7:54
  • You need to indent each line by at least 4 spaces for it to format as code/output in the final output (and preview). Commented Oct 22, 2014 at 8:10

You should be installing the gcc package from

slc6-os.repo or slc6-updates.repo

Then the dependancies will be provided from there too rather than using the devtoolset version.

Yum Repositories Entries

/etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-os.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-updates.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-extras.repo

Installation instructions

Location:

slc6-os.repo
slc6-updates.repo
slc6-extras.repo

Import the GPG key:

rpm --import http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc6X/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-cern

glibc-devel should be part of the base repo, you may have a some conflicts with your repos.

try disabling all the extra repos you added and try again.

You should also check yum Priorities plug-in which can prevent a 3rd party repository from replacing base packages, or prevent base/updates from replacing a 3rd party package.
