hangup with fetchmail

New RH EL4 install. Downloaded the appropriate Zimba source. Fetchmail is not installed according to the following:

Checking for prerequisites...

NPTL...FOUND

libidn...FOUND libidn-0.5.6-1

curl...FOUND curl-7.12.1-3

fetchmail...MISSING

gmp...FOUND gmp-4.1.4-3

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5...MISSING

I downloaded a recent release of fetchmail (fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386.rpm). But I get failed dependencies when I do a rpm -i:

warning: fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 052e7d95

error: Failed dependencies:

smtp_daemon is needed by fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386

libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is needed by fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386

libssl.so.0.9.7 is needed by fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386

Isn't postfix/sendmail installed in the Zimbra install? What is the best way to get past this and back to the Zimbra install?

If you do a "yum install fetchmail"?

up2date -i fetchmail should do the dependency dance for you.

Awesome! Got me past the fetchmail thing, but now I get:

I did a 'up2date -i libstdc++'

and

Installing...

1:libstdc++ ########################################### [100%]

2:libstdc++-devel ########################################### [100%]
but I still get the libstdc++ missing

Maybe I cheated and maybe it'll break, but it got me past that part...moving on...

[root@depot space]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-46.1
So run up2date -i compat-libstdc++-33
Don't symlink .so files - you'll get strange, almost always BAD, results.
