Nope. I even downloaded all the glibc RPM's again this morning using Fetch
(I had "Binary" selected for the transfer type)
Here's the exact error:
"glibc-devel at line 1412 does not exist"
then if hit OK, it says "glibc-devel at line 1420 does not exist"
and so on for about 5 more line numbers.
In the background it says "failed: Is a Directory(21)" but it's kind of
chopped off on the screen because of the dialogs that the installer puts up
so I couldn't read the whole message.
This was using the lastest ramdisk.image.gz from the updates folder. I also
tried the original one and the one that you're only supposed to use for the
CD install...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm installing onto a PowerCurve with a Newer MaxPowr G3 upgrade card which
was successfully running R4 with a 2.2.1 kernel prior to attempting this YDL
installation. I have 64MB RAM, a 6 GB SCSI hard disk with the following
partitions:
/ 250MB
swap 120MB
/usr 3000MB
/opt 1000MB
/tmp 500MB
/var 500 MB
/home 800 MB
As I said, I can select ignore all and continue with the installation and
everything else runs smooth, but I'd rather figure out what is going on so I
don't have to reinstall at a later date because of problems related to
glibc-devel not being installed.
