How to install pgAdmin using yum
 

Hello...

I am trying to install pgAdmin III in RHEL 5 by using this command:

But a lot of dependencies errors occurs.

How can I make yum to install dependencies automatically?

Thanks
Jaime

if you get dependencies, then you should be able to find what repo provides all of them. If you showed us what they were, we could tell you I expect, although it should be pretty trivial for you to google it yourself.

The package 'pgadmin3_91' from the "PostgreSQL repo" has 2 dependencies,
not installed on a basic OS install :
1) wxGTK
2) postgresql84-libs

Both are in the "Redhat repo" : Please activate your Redhat account.

..

This is the yum output:

Oh yeah, that's the biggy I missed... RHN support. If you don't use RHN you have no business using RHEL in the first place really.

What do you mean with that?

He means that RHEL is a paid for linux flavor. it's Paid for, because you're paying for the support they provide you.

that updates and package repositories are handled as part of the *paid for* RHN service. If you aren't paying to use RHN then you should convert the installation to CentOS instead, which is pretty simple to do.

Well... maybe it´s simple, but I don't know how to do it.... never mind, I was just wanting to test an application that uses PostgreSQL locally. I am a Windows user and installed Linux on a Virtual Machine but if this is a complicated and time consuming task, I will prefer to continue testing the application on my hosting company.

Thanks anyways,
