From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: I did a "minimal install" because of some dependancy problems with the full install on my x86_64 system. When I went to install GCC, it required glibc-headers. However, glibc-headers requires kernel headers. So, I downloaded the source for the kernel, kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm and installed it. According to the docs I've found, the next step is supposed to be "rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec". It fails because GCC is not installed. So, I am in a catch 22 situation. I can't install GCC without the kernel headers and I can't install the kernel headers without GCC. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel source install requires gcc - gcc requires kernel headers How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. perform a minimal install 2. try to install GCC from the FC3 rpm collection 3. try to install kernel headers from the RC# srpm collection Actual Results: cross dependancy failure Expected Results: bring back the separate kernel-headers rpm Additional info: I'm hoping someone will say, "Hay dummy! All you need to do is.... " :)
gcc wants glibc-kernheaders, not the kernel source.
sorry, that should be _glibc_ wants glibc-kernheaders, not the kernel source.
Excellent - That was all I needed to know. Thank you.
