I would like to thank everyone for pointing me to the mini-howto. I still seem to have this resource conflict, and I was wondering if someone could tell me what step I missed?
In order, here is what I did: 1)installed ldso_1.9.5-2 2)installed libc6_2.0.5c.0.1 3)installed ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-2 and ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-5 4)installed libreadline2_2.1-7 and libreadlineg2_2.1-7 5)installed bash_2.0.1-5 6)installed libg++272_2.7.2.8-0.1 7)installed dpkg_1.4.0.19, dpkg-d_1.4.0.19 and dpkg-ftp 8)attempted to install libc6-dev_2.0.5c-0.1 and failed. I then went on and did the following: 9)DOWNGRADED to libc5_5.4.33-3 10)DOWNGRADED to libc5-dev_5.4.33-3 11)reinstalled libc6_2.0.5c.0.1 12)attempted to install libc6-dev* At this point it still is in conflict. I don't really HAVE any *-dev packaged to purge that are an issue here(That I know of). What critical step did I miss... or what tangent did I take which wasn't condusent to the requirements of the install? Many thanks for the responses.... -- Dana M.
