Linux Barebones very lost!

Hello,

Well this is the next best place to ask. I have setup a linux servers before through a Installition CD and it installed everything for me GCC up2date. Now i have a servers that i can't manage because its in another city. All it has is 7.3 on it. I need to install GCC, APACHE, and try to use up2date. I have looked at how-tos and iam totally lost. I have the gcc rpm though it says gcc-2.95.1-3.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
binutils >= 2.9.5.0.12 is needed by gcc-2.95.1-3
cpp = 2.95.1 is needed by gcc-2.95.1-3

My questions is what is the best way to get these all installed? or to get the up2date and recieve all the rpm's and updated information to my server? I tried to do a man up2date or even to see if up2date is located on my server and it is not. Does anyone knwo where i should start or even a doc to help me out. I tried looking at google.com/linux. The linux project doc. I was lost even there. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT! :(

Since you don't have up2date installed or another package that deals with dependancies I would suggest you start writing down the dependancies and installing them yourself.

Its gets aggravating sometimes, but usually if you stick with it eventually you will resolve all the dependancies and you can install the original package.
