Hello all, I have been using suse 6.1 and haven't felt the need to upgrade but then I wanted to install some rpm's and I keep getting failed dependencies. libc.so.6 needed and others I checked and I have those libraries in /lib/. I have checked all over the place to find an answer. expert exchange, suse suportdb, among others. What is the deal I would rather figure out the problem than just upgrade. Can Anyone help? <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2722.2800" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hello all,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have been using suse 6.1 and haven't felt the need to upgrade but then I wanted to install some rpm's and I keep getting failed dependencies. libc.so.6 needed and others I checked and I have those libraries in /lib/.

Chapter 15 (page 337) of the 6.3 manual is all about updating from previous versions. An electronic version of the book should be available on the ftp site. Not sure if this is all you need but it's a good start and can't hurt to look. -- Tim RRMC -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
