Where can I find gcc-libs?

I have a new installation from the network, all packages up to date.
When I try:
pacman -S kde
I got:
"exiv2 requires gcc-libs"

And the same for other packages. where can I find gcc-libs?

Thank you.

Thanks, but I'm a bit confused, should I do a new installation using the base-cd? or just update pacman?
Thank you.

try updating pacman first. make sure u have the core and not current repo enabled in your /etc/pacman.conf and then pacman -Syu

yes, I did it, but it doesn't work:

pacman -Syu

[root@Escorpion pacman.d]# ls

You are using an outdated mirror.

Re: Where can I find gcc-libs?

Well, I changed the mirror of pacman.d/current to ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686
After this pacman is not in the repo anymore.
I'm confused with all of this. If I don't get it working like this, i'll install it again.
Thank you

Try updating pacman first, then add the core repo to your pacman.conf.  You can download pacman and install manually if you need to, just download ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 … pkg.tar.gz then install with "pacman -U pacman-3.0.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz"
