You could just get yum from a centos mirror and test to see if it will install. If it doesn't rpm will list the missing dependencies which you can then get from the centos mirror.

It would help if you posted the errors.

here is the error that i encounter: "No module named cElementTree"

gn00kie · 02-15-2006, 04:29 AM

here the specif error that i get when I run yum

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cElementTree.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 11:44:13)
[GCC 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this
message to <yum@lists.linux.duke.edu>.

I have already fixed my problem. I just made a rebuild of yum on my current setup and platform. Thanks for the feedback anyway...
