How to read chm file on CentOS 5.3 Linux
 

Hello All,

I am very new in this linux world. I have installed CentOS 5.3. I want to know which is best software to install to read chm file and how to install it?

Thank you.

Sagar.

Like many things in the Linux world, "best" is going to very much be subject to personal preference.

Will install the gnome chm reader from the standard repo. There are many other options.

What repo are you pulling chmsee from? I do not see it in any of the standard el5 repos.

sorry i am now working in ubuntu..i guessed that chmsee is available in default repos..

Thank you very much.

I tried to install both gnochm and chmsee.

I get this message

# yum install gnochm

Hi, I don't know if this will help but you can try search here. Also I found this.

Post the results of:

yum repolist

Looks like you do not have the epel repo set up:

Search for epel and it will tell you how to set it up.

Edit: It is also available from the rpmforge (see above page) if you prefer.

Thanks, it worked after I set rpmforge. Still very new to all this but it's fun learning Linux.
