无法安装libffi-devel

Question

我正在尝试在RHEL上安装libffi-devel，但是当我尝试的时候，我得到了这样的信息：

Transaction Check Error:
  package libffi-3.0.5-1.el5.6.z.x86_64 (which is newer than libffi-3.0.5-1.el5.i386) is already installed

我正在运行这个命令：

sudo yum install -y libffi-devel

下面是该命令的完整输出：

看起来您的系统上已经安装了一个版本的libffi-3.0.5-1.el5.6.z.x86_64。使用命令检查，然后先删除rpm。

rpm -qa | grep libffi
rpm -e <rpm from the above>

然后尝试使用以下命令进行安装：

sudo yum install -y libffi libffi-devel
