Yum Install / Package Install Error

Hello

I try to install the epel repository so I can install ejabberd.

I do not have epel, it seems :

Code:

[root@serv src]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
CentOS-Base.repo  CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  CentOS-fasttrack.repo  CentOS-Media.repo  CentOS-Vault.repo  n2.repo

So I try to install epel :

Code:

[root@serv src]# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100]
	package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed

But when I try to install ejabberd :

Code:

[root@serv src]# yum install ejabberd
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror

 * base: ftp.nluug.nl
 * extras: ftp.nluug.nl
 * updates: ftp.nluug.nl
No package ejabberd available.

CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-Everything

Hello All

I am still working out the basics of Linux.
I have a Centos 7 install. I cannot get this RPM to install. It installs fine under Centos 6.

What am I doing wrong? I really need a GUI Find and Replace program!
--skip broken does not work either.

Thanks in advance
Scott

I have download Centos 6.5 and 6.5 and then install it on Virtualbox , but it is wonder that it do not prompt to ask to select what package need to be install during the installation process .

I checked that only 700M HD space is used to insall , therefore , it should be only minimal installation .

what I have download is CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1 and CentOS-6.6-i386-bin-DVD1 , the file size is 3.8G .

would advise how can I select package to install or run full install ?

thanks.

We're unable to upgrade our environment beyond CentOS 5.10. This is a webserver that has certain reliances to the specific version of the OS, long story short.

I was asked to install a plugin for Redmine that requires at least ruby 1.8.7 so I cloned our VM as a new machine to test functional checkout. The problem is, the existing installation of Ruby was also installed ad hoc (not from any repo or yum methods) and it's currently at 1.8.5. The 1.8.7 version I tried to install gives me the following:
Quote:
# rpm -Uvf ruby-1.8.7.374-2.el6.x86_64.rpm warning: ruby-1.8.7.374-2.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 signatu NOKEY, key ID c105b9de error: Failed dependencies: rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by ruby-1.8.7.374-2.el6.x86_64 ruby-libs = 1.8.7.374-2.el6 is needed by ruby-1.8.7.374-2.el6.x86_64 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by ruby-1.8.7.374-2.el6.x86_64 ruby = 1.8.5-31.el5_9 is needed by (installed) ruby-irb-1.8.5-31.el5_9.x86_64 ruby = 1.8.5-31.el5_9 is needed by (installed) ruby-rdoc-1.8.5-31.el5_9.x86_64 ruby = 1.8.5-31.el5_9 is needed by (installed) ruby-ri-1.8.5-31.el5_9.x86_64
It appears as though this particular version was intended for CentOS 6 and, as I've known from previous experience, dependency hell is upon me. So, the question becomes, has anyone successfully upgraded ruby without tinkering with the OS version upgrade and, if so, might you have a HOWTO that prevents dependency hell? This, short of installing from source, is headed in the wrong direction real quick so I'm trying to stick with the RPM method. But, obviously, I'll listen to anything at this point.

Hello,

i need to install NS2 version 2.26 with RSVP-TE patch to do some MPLS simulations.

I'm trying on fedora 8 and when compiling i am getting this error

* Build ns-2.26
============================================================
loading cache ./config.cache
...
checking for tcl2c++... ../tclcl-1.0b13
checking for X11 header files

Ns configuration failed! Exiting ...
Please check http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html
for common problems and bug fixes.

All X11 packages are installed (libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel)

Installed CentOS 3.9 (it seems NS2 2.26 installs well on this distro) but when trying to get packages with yum seems the repo is not working anymore.

If any one could help to solve the problem of installation i would greatly appreciate

I have a Toshiba Laptop that had a Dual Boot of Windows 7 and Linux Mint 17 on it and both OS's worked fine. I've been wanting to use CentOS 7 as my primary OS so that I can become more familar with RPM management and proceeded to remove my Mint installation and replace it with the CENTOS 7 installation, and the install completed successfully. HOWEVER, here's my problem.....

When my laptop starts up, I don't see GRUB nor do I have any option of selecting whether to run Windows or CentOS. It automatically loads up Centos 7. When I do a 'sudo fdisk -l', I can see that SDA1 is an NTFS drive, and when I try the following 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Main\ Drive' I get an error message saying that I can't mount an NTFS drive.

Am I missing something or is there a way to access my Windows files from within Centos. I was able to do this with Mint without an issue, but unable to see any of my windows drives because I can't mount an NTFS drive.

I have no problem with keeping CENTOS as my only OS on this laptop, however, I do need to access the files from the Window's partition, and if anyone can help me to access my files, that would be totally awesome.

Thank you in advance for reading through this and for any help offered.....

Hello again,

i need to understand once for all the syntax of files.repo.

When i need a repository i create under /etc/yum.repos.d/ the repository file

goofy.repo

with this syntax

[repository_name]
[goofy]
baseurl=ftp:///mydirectory/myrepodir
gpgcheck=0

---
Myrepodir contains all the *.rpm files i need

when i exit and save i get anytime this error

Code:

ftp:///mydirectory/myrepodir/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - ""
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: repobase. Please verify its path and try again

What am i wrong for? How can i just say to my rhel/centos system
"Ehy, for rpm look inside /mydirectory/myrepo" ?

Thanks
