sounds like you are not running the rpm command as root

Try using yum to remove it and re-install it.
Should find and/or configure all of the dependencies.≈ PeakVPN.Com | Complete Privacy VPN | Cloud Hosting | Guaranteed Security | 1Gbps-10Gbps Unmetered

SLiM_BoY,
How did you install unrar? Didn't it throw dependency error while installing? Try installing another version of unrar.David | www.cliffsupport.com

I think the RPM-based installer only grabs the binaries, and copies them to the required locations, no actual compiling.
Slimboy, are you on a VPS, or a dedicated server? You need to upgrade glibc.

You can do this
$ wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/u...l4.rf.i386.rpm
$ rpm -Uvh unrar-3.6.8-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
Cheers

Alternativley if you are having problems with RPM's, you can just get the CLI version of WinRar directly from www.rarlab.com. Make sure you have Glibc 2.4 though.
# wget http://rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.7.1.tar.gz
# tar xvzf rarlinux*
# cd rar
# make
# make install
Hope this helps.

For Centos 5.1 you can simply add the 'rpmforge' repository and just do: yum install rar unrar

That really doesn't do anything to resolve issues. It's always best to use a "package" based system for non source related stuff so that you can grab the dependencies.
You should be able to with 4.x now too, at least I was able to. the 'rar' package still complains about the glibc crap, but it'll get there eventually I guess.
This is what happens when you use pre-compiled stuff, you get to deal with dependencies on their own stuff. Unfortunately, the only (known) source for rar exists in a win32 platform AFAIK.
This is why tar/zip are so much better, the issues just don't exist, or aren't as prevalent.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire

Install the rpmforge packages, following these instructions.
yum -y install rpmforge (for CentOS/Fedora)
up2date rpmforge (for RHEL)
This will grab the packaged versions that will work with your system and install it.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire
