Installation Confusion on Fedora
Hi there,
I'm usually a Debian user, totally new to Fedora. I'm trying to install tcpreplay - the website says most RPM-based distros should have it, so I tried: Code:
# yum install tcpreplay Anyway, I decided to download the RPM and try to install it: Code:
# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm I know this is probably because of my unfamiliarity of Fedora/yum, but it's getting a bit frustrating. I'm now in the middle of "yum groupinstall development-tools" so I can build the package from source - but I'd still like to know what I should do to get this via the package manager. The information I can find on the internet seems either very disparate and/or doesn't seem to apply this/fix my problems. I must be missing something - Fedora is too big for someone not to have had these issues before, I just can't find it! Can anyone help? |
Since your Yum output shows repos like "centos.serverspace.co.uk" you're not running Fedora but CentOS 6. It's good to first read http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and then fetch EPEL-release from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#H...ra_packages.3F after which you should be able to fidn and install tcpreplay.

Firstly, do not use extra repositories with CentOS untill you have set their priorities or the results can be nasty
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities Secondly, you can get tcpreplay from the EPEL repository http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL Thirdly, when you need to find a program, these are a good place to start http://rpm.pbone.net/ http://pkgs.org/ |
