[GnomeMeeting-list] installation trouble

[Jonathan Dibble <recruitment jdibble com>]

hi,
someone please help!!! rpm hell.  i know this might be a simple problem
but:
i can't install 
opal-3.2.1-1.x86_64.rpm because i cannot get installed glibc-
common-2.4-4.x86_64.rpm. 

i get the following conflict: glibc < 2.4 conflicts with glibc-
common-2.4-4.x86_64.  forcing or replace files does not work either.  

if i try to install the newer glibc i get:
glibc-common = 2.4-4 is needed by glibc-2.4-4.x86_64
        glibc > 2.3.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.4-2.x86_64

i am really stuck and very very frustrated.  i installed compat-
glibc-2.3.2-95.30.x86_64.rpm as i thought this would allow all those
packages reliant on the old version to work while allowing for the new
one  but this has made no diference.  please help!!!!
Regards,
Jonathan
