You're installing an "RPM". Read the documentation for your *nix distro
and for the package you installed. If that doesn't clear things up,
contact the provider of the RPM.
Procmail is not provided by _its_ maintainers as an RPM - it is provided as
full sources (see <http://www.procmail.org> - note there are no RPM files
there). Sources require compiling to build binaries for your system.
error: failed dependencies:
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by procmail-3.22-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by procmail-3.22-1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by procmail-3.22-1
Looks like you need to install a newer glibc and some other files. Go get
their respective RPMs.
I don't personally believe in the environment which RPMs promote - would-be
system administrators become dependant upon maintaining a system which
needs to be nearly identical to the system used by the person who built the
package.
The procmail list isn't the place to learn how to do builds (it is the
place to learn how to use procmail - and if you have _procmail_specific_
build issues - not general "how do I run make" questions), but I'd strongly
suggest that if you're planning on administering your system longterm, you
should consider learning to build software from sources - not everything is
available as RPMs, and RPMs lock you into often unnecessary constraints
imposed by the person who created them (which again, I must stress, isn't
the procmail development group).
