Installing X Window & Gnome problem

I am trying to install X and gnome with following command:

Quote:

yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"

Everything goes fine to this point:

file /usr/share/man/man1/gst-launch-0.10.1.gz from install of gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5 conflicts with file from package gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5

How could I get this solved. All the repro config is default CentOS 5.1

Thanks,

Gstreamer being a multimedia application I doubt that any conflict would be fatal to the general Gnome install.

Have you tried adding the -t option to yum to increase the tolerance to errors? I'm not sure if it will still halt the install but worth a try.

It gives same error even with -t option, but thanks :/

Basically what I am trying to do is to configure firewall, for that I need X and gnome:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/e...-firewall.html
I suspect that firewall options are causing samba to properly function when my windows boxes connect to the server.

As I see, yum has no force option to ignore depencies completely. At this point, I think yum has downloaded all the packages to local drive, as it skips downloading. How could I manually install X and gnome via rpm?

EDIT: I found the issue:
