Hello, From the current version, 3.4.13 - I need to install 3.4.14 & 3.4.15 versions. but am getting below error when I update the package - libstdc++-4.8.5-44.el7.x86_64.rpm. could you help me find out what I'm missing here?

Error: Package: libstdc++-devel-4.4.7-23.el6.x86_64 (@base)
Requires: libstdc++(x86-64) = 4.4.7-23.el6
Removing: libstdc++-4.4.7-23.el6.x86_64 (@base)

Updated By: libstdc++-4.8.5-44.el7.x86_64 (/libstdc++-4.8.5-44.el7.x86_64)
libstdc++(x86-64) = 4.8.5-44.el7
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

glibc-2.17-55.el6.x86_64 is a duplicate with glibc-2.12-1.212.el6_10.3.i686

Hey, I did that. Now when I try to install something, eg npm I am getting the following notices: ** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: glibc-2.12-1.212.el6_10.3.i686 has missing requires of glibc-common = ('0', '2.12', '1.212.el6_10.3') glibc-2.17-55.el6.x86_64 is a duplicate with glibc-2.12-1.212.el6_10.3.i686

What to do?

did you fix that issue? I'm also having the same two errors after installing the fix :)

WARNING

This will brick many things in your Centos 6 distro, and there is no clean way to go back without knowing all symlinks before you install these.
If you are trying to do something with python that complains about requiring glibc over 2.12, consider using pip version 19 (pip install pip==19), it will use the manylinux2010 (based on Centos 6) wheels and may have c binaries for your system.

If you are compiling c binaries that need glibc > 2.12 its better to install glibc in a seperate folder and use PATH (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.17/lib)to link to it instead

Thanks for the suggestion! We built latest python 3.9 on CentOS 6 but it was giving error that unable to load libc.so.6, so had to configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH and works
