but I would highly recommend upgrading software thru the OSs package manager though. if at all possible

Browse All TopicsHi, not sure if this is the right place to ask the question. I'm using SUSE 10.0 I need to upgrade my version of php (currently using php 4.4 and need to move to php 5). The problem that I'm experiencing is as follows every time I attempt to rpm -Uvh php5-5.1.2-3.i586.rpm I get
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by php5-5.1.2-3
libmm.so.14 is needed by php5-5.1.2-3
Which I didn't think was such a big deal, so I found an rpm version of glibc 2.4 and ran rpm -Uvh glibc-2.4-31.0.20060508.i5
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.3.5 is needed by (installed) glibc-locale-2.3.5-39
Again fair enough so I fugred well I'll install glibc-locale-2.4x so I ran the following command:
rpm -Uvh glibc-locale-2.4-22.0.i686
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.4 is needed by glibc-locale-2.4-22.0
Obviously this brings me full circle...how in the world does one install a package that has dependencies that rely on each other. Any ideas?

2 things 86.rpm glibc-locale-2.4-22.0.i686 .rpm
1) why can't you use the yast update program to upgrade your software
2) if you can't use the yast, the do this
rpm -Uvh php5-5.1.2-3.i586.rpm glibc-2.4-31.0.20060508.i5
just list them all at once instead of doing them seperately and it will pass the dependcy test
