New GNOME RH 6.0 RPM's on RH 5.2?

Post by Stee » Fri, 16 Jul 1999 04:00:00



The GNOME website says there are new RPM's for RedHat 6.0.  I was
wondering if these would work on my RedHat 5.2 system?  Anyone (braver
then me) tested them?

No, they only works with a 2.1 glibc based distribution like RedHat 6.0. I

suggest that you get the sources and if you need to make RPMS, use the specs
included (or make your owns).

I'm running the latest GNOME CVS in my RedHat 5.1.

I suspect that they will not work, as RedHat 5.2 is based on
glibc-2.0 and gtk-1.0 (IIRC), whereas RedHat 6.0 is
glibc-2.1/gtk-1.2.

1. Using new GNOME RH 6.0 rpms under RH 5.2?

Will the new GNOME rpms (which the GNOME webpage says are for RH 6.0) work
under RH 5.2?  What do I need to update (besides the kernel) to go from RH
5.2 to 6.0 so I can use the new rpms?  Is there any site which explains
how to upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0? (I dont want to buy a whole new
distribution :)  Thanks
