As for how to tell what version the DVD is, I'm guessing if you boot from it, it will say RHEL 6 Beta or something on the splash screen. I'm guessing you're on 6.0 since the version of glibc currently installed is from November 2010 (you should look in to upgrading to 6.3 at some point). If you really want the DVD method, you'll need to get a DVD that matches the RHEL 6 release you have installed.Ĭat /etc/redhat-release will tell you what version of RHEL you're running. In general, installing through yum is preferred over the DVD since yum will automatically fetch the latest RPMs whereas the DVD might have an older version that has some bugs. If you're just trying to install gcc, you can run yum install gcc to get GCC 4.4.x. Is it possible you initially installed from the 6-beta DVD but have upgraded to a newer RHEL release since then? If so, you really can't use the packages from an older RHEL DVD. Code: Select all yum -q list glibc Installed Packages glibc.x8664 2.17-323.el79 updates Available Packages glibc.i686 2.17-323.el79 updates yum -q install glibc.i686 Package Arch Version Repository Size Installing: glibc i686 2.17-323.el79 updates 4.3 M Installing for dependencies: nss-softokn-freebl i686 3.53.1-6. All of the CentOS src.rpms for 6.0 to 6.3 are glic 2.12 so the final release has always had 2.12. I really can't find a definitive source that says what the 6-Beta had but find mentions of 2.11 on 6-Beta around the web like here and here. It looks like RHEL 6 has always had glibc 2.12 but the beta release had glibc 2.11. Is it possible you're using a RHEL 6-Beta DVD on a RHEL 6.0 system?
