I wanted to install Nvidia drivers.

Can you tell me why the following is not working :

[root@INEICP-EPM-W134 Downloads]# rpm -Uvh XFree86-4.3.0-35.EL.src.rpm 
warning: XFree86-4.3.0-35.EL.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID db42a60e: NOKEY

[root@INEICP-EPM-W134 Downloads]# rpm -i NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.i386.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:

    libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.i386

Why am I getting XFree86 >= 4.0.1 is needed by NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.i386 even after I have installed Xfree ? Is my installation of Xfree not correct ?

I get :

root@INEICP-EPM-W134 Downloads]# X -version

  • Have you solved your other dependency problems? The only obvious thing I see. You installed 4.3.0-35 and the Nvidia package is expecting 4.0.1

  • XFree86 was replaced by X.Org years ago; you should not be using that. Commented Nov 4, 2014 at 16:01
