Any ideas on how to resolve this conflicts error below?

I'm trying to install gcc4-4.1.2-44.EL4_8.1.i386.rpm on my redhat 5.x system but need a lot of dependencies.

dependency - kernel-headers-2.2.19-1.0.291.i386.rpm, installed okay
dependency - glibc-headers-2.8.90-11.i386.rpm, 
              [root@bruce glibc-headers]# rpm -ivh glibc* 
              error: Failed dependencies:

Did you first try this with yum? yum would automagically fetch and install all dependencies.

yum update glibc

should do it for you. It does look like you're updating glibc because some other package depends on it. You could install that original package through yum (if it is available in a repository) and that would handle this and all subsequent dependencies.

yum install <your_original_sw_name>
