I am trying to install the Armadillo SW Library and I keep getting this error

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

If I try to install boost I get the same error, boost-test is installed. How to fix this? Many other SW packages create this same error. I ran this command to get the error:

sudo yum install armadillo-devel


I am using Red Hat 6.

Hi,

can you confirm that you have a paid subscription?

If yes: then you should contact Red Hat for support - you're paying them
If no: then you won't be able to install packages - perhaps you should consider using CentOS

Evo2.

Yes, I have a subscription, or my company does. I can contact them, anything I could try in the mean time?

Hi,

it looks like you may not be on the most recent RHEL 6. RHEL 6.5 has boost-1.41.0-18.el6 where as you have boost-1.41.0-17.el6. So what version do you have? Eg.
I guess it will be something less that 6.5, in which case you probably need to upgrade.

Evo2.

I am using Red Hat 6.4, that is the latest version which my company has.

Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.4 (Santiago)
Release: 6.4
Codename: Santiago

I am also installing an old version of Armadillo too, in theory it should work with Red Hat 6.4.

Hi,
Are you sure? How are you trying to install it? Are you following some instructions posted somewhere? Can you post the full terminal output when you try to install armadillo (including whatever command you issued).

Evo2.

Here is the full error: Armadillo 3.8 is pretty old, released 2013-03-01.

Hi,

well, it clearly depends on the newer boost packages than what you currently have installed. Is there any reason you can't upgrade those packages?

Evo2.

So, I guess the only way to do that is manually download, build and link myself? I can try, I'm no Linux guru, that is why I really wanted to use yum.

Thanks anyway.

Hi,

upgrade the packages with
assuming your repos are setup correctly.

If you're unsure check with however is supposed to be administering the machine.
