Hi all,

I am in the process of install Graphviz for NagVis but when I run yum install 'graphviz*' I get the following:

Code:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I am running CentOS 5.5 32bit and have only added the extra rpmforge repo's.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Well, the error messages seem to imply that the additional packages need the old 2.8-1.el5 version of graphviz, and you have the newest version (2.22.0-4.el5) installed.

You could try downgrading your installed software to the 2.8-1 version or recompiling the interface(s) you need against the newer libraries.

Verify the version of package that you have installed and the one that you are getting through package update.

I guess it is due to the version conflict

you can also try : yum resolvedep <package> (I am not sure if this would definitely help you)

In addition to what PTrenholme offered you chose to run 'yum install 'graphviz*';'. I wonder if you need ALL those packages. Between all those packages there's a libgvc dependency of at least three different versions that can't be resolved this way. If you for instance run 'yum install graphviz-lua' or 'yum install graphviz-php' you won't have those dependency errors. If downgrading to the old 2.8-1.el5 version doesn't work or isn't wanted then I agree installing the necessary -devel packages, recompiling the required .src.rpm and installing that would be the most efficient option wrt package and dependency maintenance.
