Nope !!

compat-libf2c-32-3.2.3-56.fc5.i386.rpm or something

http://google.com
and
http://rpm.pbone.net
to search for rpms and libraries

Check http://fedoraproject.org/ for the latest list of Yum repositories
for FC5 and instructions for setting up Yum repositories.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/yum/YumUpgradeFaq

I'd use the ftp://pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS
if I were you.

Not to mention a clean install to at least FC7 after backing up my /home
and all other folders, especially DB folders and config files. To keep
your FC installation within the maintenance cycle.

I say this so you could use

$ sudo yum grouplist

$ sudo yum groupupdate "Development Tools"

to install all the development packages including compat-libg2f

$ man yum

first of all, thanks fo ryour help!.

first try, it installed all devel packages (150+) and then:
[root@ip-XXX-XXX-XX-XX bin]# rpm -Uvh Numeric-24.2-1.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
python-base >= 2.4 is needed by Numeric-24.2-1.i586
libg2c.so.0 is needed by Numeric-24.2-1.i586

Unbelieveable. You know this houldn;t be so hard or maybe I underestimated
what it took to install software on linux.

Back to more research

TryAdmin,


Did you try:

yum localinstall Numeric-24.2-1.i586.rpm


Kind regards,

thanks - that worked until it got to:
--> Processing Dependency: python-base >= 2.4 for package: Numeric
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: python-base >= 2.4 is needed by package Numeric

I tried rpm -F for the python package. How do I find out which python
package it's thinking I need to update so I can update it?

On my Fedora8 box:

[john@lancre ~]$ locate libg2c.so|xargs rpm -qf
compat-gcc-34-g77-3.4.6-8
compat-gcc-34-g77-3.4.6-8
compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-8
compat-libf2c-34-3.4.6-8

You can use packages.acl.org.ua for easy searching for packages.
Example with libg2c.so.0:
