Can't install python-dev on centos 6.5

Can't install python-dev on centos 6.5. Yum says "No package python-dev available.". No graphical solutions please.

How to list the contents of a package using YUM?

I know how to use rpm to list the contents of a package (rpm -qpil package.rpm). However, this requires knowing the location of the .rpm file on the filesystem. A more elegant solution would be to use the package manager, which in my case is YUM. How can YUM be used to achieve this?

How to install software in CentOS

apt-get install devscripts

What is the equivalent in centOS?

How does one easily add posix support to PHP using yum?

I am running CentOS 5.2 and using yum to manage packages. I have had little luck installing php-posix but know with almost 100% certitude that it is a real and available package...somewhere. Has anyone had luck installing it?

FWIW, I am using the following:

sudo yum install -y php-posix

Update: I've realized that this may be an issue with my host (Slicehost) as I do in fact have cli, posix, and pcntl enabled for my PHP version (5.2.9)

How do I install Maven with Yum?

I'm trying not to learn much about either yum or maven. I've inherited this code and I don't want to spend more time than I have to in this environment.

I've got yum. My installation "has" ("is attached too"? "knows about"?) two repos: the Amazon one and JPackage, which I understand is something of a standard. (Actually, each of those repositories consists of two sub-repositories, but I don't think that's causing the problem.)

When I asked yum to install maven2, it declined, saying it had never heard of maven2.

When I asked yum to install maven2 ignoring Amazon, it does so, but it installs Maven 2.0.9, which is fairly old. The actual pom.xml I have requires a higher version.

When I Google for Maven repositories I get repositories that Maven can use to build other things, not repositories that Yum can use to install Maven. (I did find a repository containing thing that let Maven build Yum. I think Google is mocking me at this point.)

So, all I need is the repo file that points to a repo that contains whatever I need to install Maven 2.2.1.

If it weren't for all these labor-saving devices, I could probably get some work done.

How to make rpm auto install dependencies

I have built two RPM packages

• proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
• libtest1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

proj1 depends on the file libtest1.so being present and it is reflected correctly in the RPM packages as seen here:

user@my-pc:~$ rpm -qp --requires proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
libtest1.so()(64bit)

user@my-pc:~$ rpm -qp --provides libtest1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
libtest1.so()(64bit)

The installation of proj1 fails due to a missing dependency.

user@my-pc:~$ rpm -ivh proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libtest1.so()(64bit) is needed by proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

How do I ensure that libtest1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm is installed automatically during the installation of proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm?

I did try the --aid option with rpm -i as described here but it didn't work for me.

Is there any other way?

Thanks for any help.

How to install latest version of git on CentOS 6.x/7.x

I used the usual:

yum install git

But it did not install the latest version of git on my CentOS 6.4. So, how can I update to the latest version for CentOS 6.4?

Note:

The solution can be applicable to other newly released versions of CentOS such as CentOS 7.x.

How to list installed packages from a given repo using yum [closed]

I want to list all packages I have installed on a system from a given repo using yum. Usually to do this I use yum list installed | grep "something". But now I am faced with a problem. The repo I am interested in does not have that "something" for me to grep. The packages from that repo do not have any distinctive characteristics. How do I list them?

I looked through yum man pages but did not find anything. I wonder if there are other commands I could use.

Upgrading PHP on CentOS 6.5 (Final)

I'm trying to update my PHP (currently v:5.3.3 to the latest stable PHP build) but it's not playing ball and it's saying there is nothing to update.

Any help would be useful.

Keeps saying:

No Packages marked for Update

yum error "Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again" updating ContextBroker

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading

mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

What could be going wrong ?

Upgrade python without breaking yum

I recently installed Python 2.7.3 on a CentOS machine by compiling from source. Python 2.7.3 is installed at /opt/python2.7 and when I installed it I just changed /usr/bin/python to point to the new version. This apparently is wrong though because when I did it it broke yum. I would get the following.

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named yum

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7.3 (default, May 15 2012, 17:45:42) 
[GCC 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to 
the yum faq at:
  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

I changed /usr/bin/python to point back to the python 2.6.6 but now 2.6.6 is the default version of python. Any idea how to fix this?

How do I find which rpm package supplies a file I'm looking for?

As an example, I am looking for a mod_files.sh file which presumably would come with the php-devel package. I guessed that yum would install the mod_files.sh file with the php-devel x86_64 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 package , but the file appears to not to be installed on my filesystem. How do I find out which package installs the specific file? I'm looking for where I have not necessarily already locally downloaded the package which may include the file that I'm looking for?

I'm using CentOS 5.

Determining the path that a yum package installed to [closed]

I've installed ffmpeg using yum under Redhat, and I'm having difficulty figuring out where (what path) it installed the package to. Is there an easy way of determining this without resorting to finding it myself manually?

How to yum install Node.JS on Amazon Linux

I've seen the writeup on using yum to install the dependencies, and then installing Node.JS & NPM from source. While this does work, I feel like Node.JS and NPM should both be in a public repo somewhere.

How can I install Node.JS and NPM in one command on AWS Amazon Linux?

Amazon EC2 instance can't update or use yum

I am using Amazon's tutorial for installing a LAMP server. The first several instructions involve using yum, but every single way I have tried to do it has resulted in the same message. I have found a few other recent questions about the same issue, none of which change anything on my setup.

Here is the message:

Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://repo.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/main/mirror.list error was
12: Timeout on http://repo.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/main/mirror.list: (28, 'Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds')


One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
    upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
    distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
    packages for the previous distribution release still work).

 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
    just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
    --enablerepo for temporary usage:

        yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>

 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
    Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
    so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
    slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
    compromise:

        yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

 Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: amzn-main/latest

I have done this same thing before without running into any problems, using the same tutorial, but it was several months ago. I don't know what has changed but my meager experience is keeping me from figuring it out.
