[plug] Unable to install GNU Pascal RPM package on RH 5.2

[Bret Busby]

Here's a problem.

Anne has a PL/0 compiler that she has to modify for school.

It is written in Pascal.

She needs to install a Pascal compiler on RH 5.2 Linux (note: not a converter
such as P2C).

She downloaded GNU Pascal and GNU Pascal extras packages.

When trying to install GPC using 

rpm -ivh gpc-19990118-1_i386-pc-linux-gnu.rpm ,

the following message appeared:

failed dependencies:
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by gpc-19990118-1
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by gpc-19990118-1

Using find, found libc.so.6 in /lib

Put this directory in the path, re-ran rpm command with same result.

strings libc.so.6 --> looked for version 2.0 and found it was 2.0.7, found it
was GNU C Library production release version 2.0.7, compiled by GNU CC version
2.7.2.3

What has she done wrong, or, what is wrong? How does she get it to work? Does it
work?

The second package (gpc-extras-19990118-1_i386-pc-linux-gnu.rpm) is dependent on
gpc (the first package) being installed.

Help! (Please?)

Also, she wants to know how she can get windowmaker v6, which appears to use gnu
step library, to make a mouse left handed (it can't write very well with its
right hand). She can do it in AfterStep and in fvwm95.
