Wrong question. ;)

It looks like you try to install a GCC3-compiled Standard C++
Library which requires both GCC 3 and a newer glibc. That won't work
unless you upgraded several core components of your system (or
installed GCC 3 and libs alongside GCC 2.96 and libs -- you can get
such packages for Valhalla at Red Hat Network). A GCC3-compiled
libstdc++ would be ABI-incompatible with the C++ ABI of Red Hat
Linux 7.3 and hence cannot replace libstdc++-2.96-113.

Btw, you can query dependencies with several RPM options, check out
"man rpm" and "rpm --help".
