Did you get apt-*.rpm for the appropriate operating system?
Seriously, many of those are basic libraries indeed, and I'm
guessing that you have one from a wildly divergent operating system.
What OS are you working with?




Me or the OP? me personally am using 2.4.16 (upgrading gcc beyond
2.95 is a b*tch for me) upgraded from slackware 7.0. the OP is either
using redhat or debian, what kernel I have no idea. As for the
versions, he may just have an old distribution. I last got 2.2.16 in
a distribution and have about 2 gig of tar.gz's that I used to
upgrade to where I am now, so anything's possible in that respect.

P.S. My xnews shows you replying to me not the OP.

I was speaking to the OP: I see how my reply may have looked
confusing.

But "2.4.16" is a kernel, not the OS. Slackware 7.0 is the OS. And

Well the OS is linux actually, Slackware is the distribution

frankly, I don't see how the kernel has anything to do with Shahin's
problem. The dependency problems he mentioned were with other
packages, such as ncurses, not the kernel.



Not the kernel per say, but the packages that come in a distribution
with a kernel version, say a 5 year old version of debian which would be
2.2 or so. Especially if you haven't been upgrading packages all along,
which as I say is a heck of a job, and getting linux in stores is a joke
arround my parts at least.
