massive dependency issue

natv · 08-11-2007, 10:57 PM

Hi guys,

I'm running CentOS 4.4 on a virtual private server (VPS) and trying to install OpenVPN.

I am getting these dependencies errors when trying to install it:

# rpm -Uvh openvpn-2.0.7-1.fc4.i386.rpm
warning: openvpn-2.0.7-1.fc4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.5 is needed by openvpn-2.0.7-1.fc4.i386
liblzo.so.1 is needed by openvpn-2.0.7-1.fc4.i386
libssl.so.5 is needed by openvpn-2.0.7-1.fc4.i386

So my first step was to find an rpm for libcrypto.so.5 so I did some research and (I could be on the wrong track) but I downloaded openssl-0.9.7f-7.i386.rpm which appears to have this as part of it.

I can usually handle a dependency issue or two, but oh my god:

]# rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.7f-7.i386.rpm

I really don't know what to do here... some kind of mass yum update? Or a lower version of OpenVPN?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like you selected a package built for a different version. Either install the version from your install disk or a repository for your version of CentOS. You might want to try http://rpm.pbone.net. You can filter the search by distro and version. At least it will enable you to find a compatible repository that you can add as a source.

yum install openvpn

Thanks for the advice.

yum install openvpn didn't find anything, but I searched specifically on google for installing openvpn on CentOS 4.4 and found a great instruction guide that seems to have worked.
