Installing Gnumeric in Scientific linux 5.5

Alexvader · 11-01-2010, 01:38 PM

Hi Forum

Does anybody know which repo do I have to enable to get Gnumeric in SL 5.5...?

I am aware that one should be very careful about the configuration files of Yum... in order not to b0rk the system...

And some repos can be conflicting with others...

And building this from source hits with a lot of unmet dependencies...

Gnumeric is in the EPEL repo. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

and its compatible spinoffs such as CentOS or Scientific Linux. ""

Hi Knudfl

Long time no see....

Yes... gnumeric is in EPEL allright, but i guess there are some unmet dependencies...

# 'yum install gnumeric' tries to install an 'i386' package :
Will not work. ( Not a usual situation. But expect some error
by each ~100 rpm package.)

# 'yum install gnumeric.x86_64' : This command will work !
