Using Yum To Install Dependencies
Topic: GNU/Linux Posted:2005-11-10
Printer Friendly:

Always reluctant to try something new when we are comfortable with the tools we currently use, we haven't used yum before. We had a problem with installing the net-snmp-devel package with up2date because of some dependencies. We were able to use yum to quickly install the package we needed along with the dependencies on our CentOS 4 server:

[root@srv-1 snmp]# yum install net-snmp-devel
