Hmm, worksforme. And that's on i386 ? I thought that problem was fixed since the gc update. What version of gc do you have installed ("rpm -q gc") ?
% rpm -q gc package gc is not installed That's weird, because yum says it's there: # yum install gc Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package libgc - 1:7.0-1.fc7.rf.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
I guess rpm wants the full name. # rpm -q libgc libgc-7.0-1.fc7.rf
Please use the official libgc from Fedora. I can't help you with third-party RPMs. This was a known problem that we patched a month ago or so.
i.e. rpm -e libgc yum -y install gc :-)
Awesome. gc-6.8-3.fc7 works great. Thanks so much, and sorry to have bothered you!
