Hi
I try to install pptpd on cent os :

Code:

[root@uk ~]# rpm -ivh pptpd-1.3.0-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        ppp >= 2.4.3 is needed by pptpd-1.3.0-0.i386

so I download the source of ppp package and try to install that :

Code:

[root@uk ppp-2.4.4]# ./configure

[root@uk ppp-2.4.4]# [root@uk ppp-2.4.4]# ./configure

and then make

Code:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ppp-2.4.4/pppdump'

make install

Code:

root@uk chat]# make install
mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man/man8
install -s -c chat /usr/local/sbin
install -c -m 644 chat.8 /usr/local/share/man/man8

But I can not install yet

Code:

[root@uk ~]# rpm -ivh pptpd-1.3.0-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        ppp >= 2.4.3 is needed by pptpd-1.3.0-0.i386

If you install by source, then that installed package will NOT show up in the RPM package database.
It you install an application by RPM, the rpm command will always check the RPM database package for dependencies.

To install 'ppp', run the following as root (when you are connected to the internet):
yum install ppp

Also, you can read this:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/...&post_id=29865

my ppp version in yum is 2.4.2 I need 2.4.3 or upper

Code:

[root@uk ~]# yum list ppp

ppp.i386                                 2.4.2-6.4.RHEL4        base

how can I upgrade yum package list version?
I do somethings like this but the version is old yet

Code:

[root@uk ~]# yum update
