I am not able to install google chrome in my oracle enterprise linux

Question

I have created a google.repo file and stored the file in yum.repos.d, the contents of google.repo are :

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome – 64-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

I executed the below command in shell as a root user :

Executed :

yum install google-chrome-stable

Output :

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                    package-cleanup --dupes
                    rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I can't find lsb package also, I found that the below packages are installed : redhat-lsb.x86_64 redhat-lsb.i386

Please help me to install google chrome in oracle enterprise linux 5...

Answer 1

alright, it seems that OL 5 has older version of GLIBC and chrome will not work with that.
