installing in Linux

[gusl]

After much effort, this is what I got in my attempt to install xine.


[root@localhost gustavo]# rpm -U libstdc++34-devel-3.4.0-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++34 = 3.4.0-1 is needed by libstdc++34-devel-3.4.0-1


It seems regardless of how many packages I try to install, they always depend on something which I don't have. And even if I managed to find the right packages, it would be a pain in the ass.

Why the heck isn't this process automated? For how long am I going to be so hopeless with Linux?

look at the "yum" command.

"""Yum is a utility that can check for and automatically download and
install updated RPM packages. Dependencies are obtained and downloaded
automatically prompting the user as necessary."""

I'm using the feodra legacy stuff with rh 7.3, but I'm pretty sure it's what is being used in fedora core as well. I like it so far.
