Hi all. Bear with me here.. I'm trying to install yum and yum needs an updated version of python.. So I do like the install document says and run:

rpm -ivh http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/7.3/updates/i386/python-1.5.2-43.73.i386.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/7.3/updates/i386/python-1.5.2-43.73.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libgmp.so.3 is needed by python-1.5.2-43.73

The install document doesn't mention installing libgmp.so.3 .. Where can I find that? It seems like I'm in a chain of dependencies here..

you may need to install the module gmp on your server. Go to rpmfind.net to search for the module and download it to your server.

You can also go to rpmfind.net and search for libgmp.so.3 and it will give you the package you need to install that particular library.

wget -c ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gmp-4.0.1-3.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh gmp-4.0.1-3.i386.rpm

Most of the packages are dependent on some other lib modules. You need to have those in the server so that you can install the required modules.
In this case you needed "libgmp"
