I'm trying to install Oracle 10g Enterprise server on a Power series
RHEL 4 system. The installation guide says I need,

libgcc-3.4.3-9.EL4
libgcc-3.4.3-9.EL4.ppc64.rpm
libstdc++-3.4.3-9.EL4
libstdc++-devel-3.4.3-9.EL4

but I already have later versions installed and these version don't
have a 'EL4':

libgcc-3.4.6-10
libgcc-3.4.6-10
libstdc++-3.4.6-10
libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-10

If I try to install the older 'EL4' packages I get the error below and
I can't remove the newer libgcc and libstdc++ packages because most of
the other packages installed depend on these versions. How can I
resolve this?


# rpm -ivh libgcc-3.4.3-9.EL4.ppc.rpm

The versions that the Installation Guide gives you are minimum versions.
If your actual versions are higher, that's fine.

Please note that the Installation Guide is sadly lacking.
