RPM and Add remove programs

[Guillermo Garron]

Hi,

I have just installed FC4, and i invoque the automated upgrade software, 
i upgraded the RPM software and now when i want to add more programs to 
my linux from the original CDs it says it can't do it because it is 
looking for the old version of rpm software.

Does any body had this issue before?

regards,

Guillermo.

Yes, it's a well-known problem with this program, which will be replaced 
in FC5 by a yum-based installer.

For FC4 (and FC3, which has the same issue), the best bet is to install 
software using yum or one of the GUIs for it.

Yum should be installed by default, and is a command-line tool.

Which libraries are you trying to install?

I actually trying to install Real Player 10 and when i execute the .bin 
program it says
./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: 
libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So i think that if i install the 
compat-libstdc++-296-0.2.96-132.fc4.i386 i will the problem solved

i just inserted the FC4 cd # 1 and it started autumatically the 
add/remove programs application, and did not have the same problem but 
there is now other problem as soon as i select the packages i want to 
install it asked me for the FC4 CD 3 and i cant remove the FC4 cd1 y 
used the "eject" program but when i inserted the CD#3 the "add remove 
program" says that it cant access the CD ..
i maybe need to use the umount command?

i really thank you a lot for your time.
regards,
Guillermo.

You could try:

# yum install compat-libstdc++-296

Try closing the add/remove programs application and then using "eject".

Hi,
I got the next problem
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
public key not available for compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.fc4.i386.rpm

i read the man page of yum and could not find a parameter in order to 
tell yum to ignore these situation.
is there any?
thanks
Guillermo.

There's no need to ignore the error; a better option is to fix it:

# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
