Description of problem: The gcc44 and gcc44-c++ x86_64 packages have broken symbolic links if libgomp.i386 and libstdc++44-devel.i386 are not installed: $ sudo yum install gcc44.x86_64 gcc44-c++.x86_64 ... $ rpm -ql gcc44 gcc44-c++ | xargs file | grep 'broken symbolic' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/32/libgomp.so: broken symbolic link to `../../../../libgomp.so.1.0.0' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/32/libstdc++.a: broken symbolic link to `../../../i386-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/libstdc++.a' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/32/libstdc++_nonshared.a: broken symbolic link to `../../../i386-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/libstdc++_nonshared.a' Adding the other two packages fixes the symbolic links: $ sudo yum install libgomp.i386 libstdc++44-devel.i386 ... $ rpm -ql gcc44 gcc44-c++ | xargs file | grep 'broken symbolic' $ Can you add these two packages as dependencies? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc44-4.4.0-6.el5.x86_64 gcc44-c++-4.4.0-6.el5.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install gcc44.x86_64 gcc44-c++.x86_64 2. rpm -ql gcc44 gcc44-c++ | xargs file | grep 'broken symbolic' Actual results: 3 broken symbolic links Expected results: no broken symbolic links Additional info:
The missing dependencies are very much intentional. gcc supports both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation, and certainly doesn't need 32-bit libraries to compile 64-bit stuff, which is the default. Adding the dependencies would make it impossible to have *.i?86.rpm less installs. If you compile with -m32, it is user's responsibility to install 32-bit development packages.
