I have a RHELv4.8 system. I use yum in conjunction with the EPEL repositories. So, my yum.conf contains... [egreshko@misty etc]$ cat yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 metadata_expire=1800 And in /etc/yum.repos.d I have the repository files... One of them is epel.repo and contains... [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 4 - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/4/$basearch mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-4&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL AND MORE..... In actuality those files were created by installing the epel-release-4-9 rpm from the EPEL website. So, what is the "other" software you need to install?
