Re: GnoRPM: what version of RPM has rpmProblemSetFilter?

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Did you get the package from ftp.rpm.org or its mirrors?  For the packages
there, they use the release part of the name to specify which version of
red hat it was compiled with.  If you got the 3.0-6.0 package, you will
have problems if you do not have glibc2.1 on your system.  The 3.0-5.2
or 3.0-5.0 package is probably a better choice.

It is quite likely that there would be problems using a library compiled
with egcs with gcc, unless you are using glibc2.1, which has some code to
get rid of those problems.
