Dear Friends,

I am trying to install Open office 3.0 on my CentOS system. For I tried to execute followin command:

# createrepo /home/myname/rpm

But I am getting the following error:

bash: createrepo: command not found

Can you tell whats going wrong in this command.

Thanks in advance.

Why createrepo? Why not

yum install openoffice

Do you have creatrepo installed? Try

yum list createrepo

to see if installed (which it probably isn't), and if not, install with

yum install createrepo

edit - good point Chris.

Dear chrism01,

I had tried installing office using yum but I am not able to do that.

What distro, version, and arch are you running?

What was the specific error when you tried to use yum?

Edit; Opps you said Centos but not what version or arch.

I had installed createrepo using

yum -y createrepo.
