yum install not working for "gnome-libs"

Post by user505 » 2010/09/09 13:00:45

All,

I am using CentOS5.5 and I want to install few packages through yum.

like gnome-libs,XFree-libs etc. But when I run “yum install gnome-libs” it gives no
package available.

Can you suggest me how to update yum to make these package available?

Thanks…

Welcome to the CentOS fora. The following reading is recommended for new users:

After reading the above you should understand that you should not dual (much less triple) post. Your [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=28013&forum=37]other thread[/url] has been locked.

CentOS uses xorg not Xfree86. One possibility:
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libX11.so
libX11-devel-1.0.3-11.el5

As for Gnome:
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libgnome-2.so
libgnome-devel-2.16.0-6.el5.i386

What are you trying to accomplish?

Edit: Now [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=28015&forum=49]this other one[/url] locked too.

So what you want is Oracle. Moving this thread to that Forum.
