Heheee....
Solution 1
Have you tried to update the system first before the installation i.e yum update?You could start there then go on to install the said packages.
If I have to update the system, then I must say I'll simply not go ahead with this as it's not that critical for me.
Solution two
If you need to add a new repository on CentOs...
Every repository has a .repo file that you need to download and set up in the repository directory on your machine.Therefore... 1.0 su 2.0 cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ 3.0 wget http://long-url-ya-repository-yako/example.repo
Then you need to set up RPM signing keys which should also be available on the website or repository.Therefore... rpm - -import http://long-url-ya-repository-yako/example.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-example.com.txt
Complete the process by running an update i.e ... yum update Check whether the repository has been added and enabled i.e...yum repolist
Go ahead to install your packages from the new repository.
Bingo!!!You are now a CentOS guru as well! :)
That's a nice tutorial, and it's now in the archives for reference:-) However, I still don't know which repo contains the two packages I need. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
