It looks like you're running RHEL. Did you buy a subscription and register the system with the RGN (Red Hat Network). The message you got states clearly that you need to do this before you can install software.

If you've registered the system with RHN, check and make sure it has network connectivity.

If you are running RHEL and did not purchase a subscription, changes are you really should be running one of the free clones such as CentOS.

thanks reply,

I have buy a subscription , would advise how to config it to make it work ? thanks
