Dear experts,

I downloaded and tried to install skype and teamviewer but when it results it following error

1: Is it possible that the installation resolves and installs the dependencies itself, like its done while installation package via yum?
2: what can i do to install the above rpm?

please assist.

Have you seen the instructions here?

http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/36...tribution.aspx

Also make sure you have solved your yum repo problem described here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175441917/

yes brother, the command thats mentioned there works i.e but I want to know solution for learning purposes as in future I might experience a software which might not be available on yum repositories, so how would i need to sort that out.

If you have already successfully installed teamviewer by following the official instructions, it doesn't make any sense for me to research and type an alternative unofficial set of instructions that probably won't work any better than the successful official instructions.

I am not just talking about one specific software or package. I got same problem for skype and many others where i cant install because of deepndencies and for those i use --nodeps dont work, in future I will meet hundreds and thousands of other packages where I wont be as lucky as in case of teamviewer.

I would like to suggest you to understand what is dependency meaning .
google it every package name ,read about it. Then you will discover what is the role of dependency in software.

for eg. Alsa-lib.

if you search alsa in net , you will find The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system. , if you do not install this you will not get sound. imagine skype with no sound.

I hope you got something what I mean to say, so go and install dependency. With experience you will able to choose which dependency you do not want to install. just make a habit of reading about dependency role.

Your error message trying to install Skype implies that you aren't running Fedora 16. Would you say that is accurate?

@ snowpine; I am using CentOS 6.3.

The error is telling you what file is missing, you need to find the rpm that contains or provides that file (any depencies for that rpm) and install along with your original package. for example snmpd depends on the lm-sensors package, this isn't exact but to install snmpd snmpd-utils you need to execute something like

rpm -ivh net-snmpd.rpm net-snmpd-utils.rpm lm-sesnors.rpm

The above would install snmpd, the utilities package and provide the dependecy lm-sensors for the install.

Did you try these instructions yet? (first google hit for "skype centos")

For the "libstdc++ object" GLIBCXX_3.4.15, please use a libstdc++.so.6.0.17.

EDIT : Better : Install the package libstdc++6-4.7.2-5.i386.rpm
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...npLVG13U3lqbVk
> # yum install libstdc++6-4.7.2-5.i386.rpm
Else yum will complain in the following ...

When you have added the new libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.17,
please do : # yum install teamviewer_linux.rpm
Or : # yum localinstall teamviewer_linux.rpm
or # yum localinstall --nogpgcheck teamviewer_linux.rpm
... and all the other dependencies should be installed.


Note 1 : 'rpm -ivh' is an exception command, to be used only
when you want to install two or more versions of a library.
The default command, used by yum and all 'Package Managers':
# rpm -Uvh
