yum and rpm are commandline programs to install/remove/update packages. They will not show up a GUI or something similar, you have to use them as commands with options.

Please give us some context---what version of Linux are you using? Is this a new installation?

Did you switch to the root account using "su"? If so, try "su -"

i use 'CentOS release 6.2 (Final)' and i logged in as 'root';

Code:

[root@armansoft apache-tomcat-7.0.25]# cat /etc/*release

CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

[root@armansoft apache-tomcat-7.0.25]#

Can you find the "yum" command in the directories?---e.g.

Code:

find / -name "yum*"

Once you find the program, then check to see if the directory is in your $PATH:

Code:

echo $PATH

yes, "yum" is exists.

Code:

[root@armansoft ~]# find / -name "yum*"

...

/usr/bin/yum-debug-dump

/usr/bin/yum-groups-manager

/usr/bin/yum-debug-restore

/usr/bin/yum

/usr/bin/yum-config-manager

/usr/bin/yum-builddep

/usr/bin/yumdownloader

...

[root@armansoft ~]# echo $PATH

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin:/root/bin

This is weird.....

Can you run other commands with no issues?

Just for completeness, CD into /usr/bin and run "./yum --version" (no quotes). Using "./" forces the system to use the local directory and not look in $PATH.

If you can really run YUM and have it just come back empty with no error message or such, then that strikes me as bad design.

I would re-install yum off the OS DVD... or choose yum from one of the following sites returned from: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?releas...x86_64&repo=os

that is assuming you are using 64bit, ok?
