i already put threads on "yum not working" so still its not working..
can you tell me where yum will install all packages so that i can try manually??

Well I didn't know about your yum not working....

What version of fedora are you running?

right now i am using fedora 7... but i also tried this in fedora14 same problem i am getting for "yum".
is this because of network connection setting or what???
i am browsing net with no problem in both versions of fedora..

http://projects.gnome.org/gtkglext/download.html

There you go as far as that.

Can you point me in the direction of your yum thread?

[root@localhost ~]# yum install gtkglext-devel make gcc-c++ freeglut-devel
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mir...ra-7&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora
[root@localhost ~]#

Duh me.... Fedora 7 had its end of life a long time ago.... Follow the link I posted before.

ya i am agreed but why i am getting same problem in fedora14...

following

[root@localhost ~]# yum install libX11-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
[root@localhost ~]#

I thought you said you have another thread about this problem?

ya in following link
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...a-14-a-866144/

i downloaded gtkglext-1.0 & gtkglext-1.2 and installed successfully in /root/NS/gtkglext-1.0
but still i am getting same msg as in thread #1 above

You need the dev files.

Ok look, remove the ones you uninstalled since you are going gung-ho and downloading everything in sight. Navigate to the following page:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...evel&srodzaj=3

Grab the devel package for Fedora 7 and the correct arch type for your system.

Cheers,

Josh
