C Libraries

I got them off of Rpmfind.net,
I don't really get anywhere when I do "rpm -ivh ./*"::

[root@shredder clib]# ls
glibc-2.3.2-5mdk.i586.rpm  libstdc++-devel-3.3-7.i386.rpm
libstdc++-3.3-7.i386.rpm
[root@shredder clib]# rpm -ivh ./*
error: failed dependencies:
        initscripts < 6.91-18mdk conflicts with glibc-2.3.2-5mdk
        libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.3)   is needed by libstdc++-3.3-7
[root@shredder clib]#

I really have no idea about what I'm doing though.
I'm thinking about giving Gentoo a try based off of the positive
stuff I've heard here,

All I really want is to run "mjpegtools."
