Yum GCC Errors

This is coming from Shelby as a fix for the CentOS gcc compiler error that occurs when you try run a Yum update on some systems:
--> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 for package: glibc-dummy-centos-4 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 is needed by package glibc-dummy-centos-4
First you have to remove the existing package:
yum remove glibc-dummy-centos-4
Then you have to reinstall gcc:
yum install gcc & yum install gcc*
Then you should be able to proceed running the yum update command.

Glibc is specially compiled to function properly under OpenVZ, so that won’t function too well there.
Just add glibc to your yum.conf excludes. Under [main]:
exclude=glibc*
and yum upgrades will work properly.
True, but the above fix works when we use it on our systems (even on the VPS’s running Virtuozzo) when a yum update fails. Either of these fixes should work though (don’t take my word for it just because it works for us)
I was told by the lead sysadmin at work that it would be a bad idea with Virtuozzo , but hey, maybe he was blowing smoke up my pipe, or it was an older bug.
As long as it works!
I have not seen any issues with this fix. It was the only way I was able to have yum update properly otherwise every other time it would bomb out when trying to download/install everything. I don’t really see the harm in it as CPanel still protects certain aspects of this. Also with this fix I was able to bring my CentOS 4.4 install up to 4.5 in the VZ CPanel environment.
I keep getting this error, any help?

The compile error looks as if you’re either using an incompatible version of GCC, or are simply unluckily pulling broken code from SVN.
apt-get won’t work unless you’re running a debian-derived distro. As I see you’ve got yum installed, this clearly will not do. Do “yum install linux-headers” instead.
The error at the end clearly is an old version of subversion that isn’t up there anymore. Try wget http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/i386/subversion-1.5.1-1.i386.rpm
