Nagios installation need help......
 

Hi,

i tried installing nagios in centos 64 bit, i'm getting the following error.........................


yum install nagios
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* addons: ftp.iitm.ac.in
* base: ftp.iitm.ac.in
* extras: ftp.iitm.ac.in
* rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net

Error: Missing Dependency: libttf.so.2()(64bit) is needed by package nagios-3.2.2-1.el4.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.


i request u to help me to solve this.

Hi

The error you're getting indicates that you have a missing package dependency; and that yum cannot find this dependency in the repositories you've defined in /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepofile.repo

Try adding in more CentOS repositories in your repo file and it should find the missing dependency (you can find a list of official repos on the CentOS project site

hi ali yas,

thanks for ur reply....

but how to add repo's to /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepofile.repo

can u plz explain it and post some repos links,

it will be help full.

thanks.

Hi zoomzatag,

Understanding how to configure and use yum is a fundamental area of RHEL and its variants - I suggest you do some research on this and attempt to do this yourself.

Its not constructive if I give you a step by step guide; as you'll learn more if you attempt to do this yourself.

For links to repositories, as per my previous post, please go and have a look on the CentOS project site.

hi alli yas,

thanks
