I was wanting to run a different compiler than what's installed. I found the deps for gcc13 and downloaded them (deps): rpm -Uhv --test gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64.rpm warning: gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID 29b700a4: NOKEY error: Failed dependencies: cpp13 = 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libasan8 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libatomic1 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.34)(64bit) is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.35)(64bit) is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.36)(64bit) is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libgcc_s1 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libgomp1 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libhwasan0 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libitm1 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 liblsan0 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libtsan2 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 libubsan1 >= 13.1.1+git7364-1.1 is needed by gcc13-13.1.1+git7364-1.1.x86_64 First I tried relocating the install path to my a devel dir '/home/devel/root' with rpm -relocate=/=/home/devel/root That didn't work as it said the package was not relocatable. Hmmm. Next I tried rpm2cpio and unpacking the cpio's under the root (using star). Set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/devel/root/usr/lib64 for my test I just wanted to see gcc print its version. I set my PATH=/home/devel/root/usr/bin:$PATH When I tried running 'gcc --version', I got(get): /home/devel/root/usr/bin/gcc-13 --version gcc: symbol lookup error: /home/devel/root/usr/lib64/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _dl_audit_symbind_alt, version GLIBC_PRIVATE ----- Any ideas as to why this didn't work? Thanks! -linda
