I simply ran

this is what came up:

    Is this ok [y/N]: n

so i ran

repoquery --location

on each one of those items. and got their downloadable url.

i simply created a new folder and then downloaded all these files like this.

# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm

# wget http://mirror.wiredtree.com/centos/6.4/os/x86_64/Packages/gcc-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64.rpm

but it appears they were not in any particular order by the

yum install gcc

so i started installing some of them but i got stuck.

rpm -ivh mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh cpp-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh ppl-0.10.2-11.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh cloog-ppl-0.15.7-1.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
#
rpm -ivh glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh glibc-headers-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh glibc-devel-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh gcc-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64.rpm

in other words everything was installed fine ( i sorted them out based on what was installed without problems.

right under # is where the problems start.

i can not run anything after the # because nothing is installing after that line.

what should i do ?

UPDATE

they are failing after the #
because.. the first one depends on the second one
and second one depends on the first one.

in other words..

rpm -ivh glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm

is asking for

rpm -ivh glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm

while that one is asking for the first one again.

Solution

You can use yum to do the installation too.

$ yum --nogpgcheck localinstall *.rpm

Yum will then make sure that the dependencies are all set before attempting to install. It will even look into the proposed .rpm files you're attempting to install to make sure that their dependencies are satisfied.

In general it's usually a bad idea to attempt to install multiple .rpm files using single rpm -ivh .... Better to include them all on one command line so that rpm can check the dependencies across the entire set of .rpms too.

Well, to start with, edit into your question the exact output from the command immediately before things started failing, and from a failing rpm -ivh command. "I cannot run anything" and "nothing is installing" doesn't say much about what might be wrong.
