Description (last modified by )
i used to be able to install and use VirtualBox with either the RedHat 4 build rpm or the .run file. Now, since trying to upgrade to 3.0.8, I get an error from RPM or YUM:
[root@notready ~]# yum install VirtualBox Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, ibm-additional-metadata, ibm-cds- : plugin, ibm-house-cleaning, ibm-repository, ibm-security, ibm- : upgrade-oc, security Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package VirtualBox.i386 0:3.0.8_53138_rhel4-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libpython2.3.so.1.0 for package: VirtualBox --> Finished Dependency Resolution VirtualBox-3.0.8_53138_rhel4-1.i386 from virtualbox has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libpython2.3.so.1.0 is needed by package VirtualBox-3.0.8_53138_rhel4-1.i386 (virtualbox) Error: Missing Dependency: libpython2.3.so.1.0 is needed by package VirtualBox-3.0.8_53138_rhel4-1.i386 (virtualbox) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest [root@notready ~]#
I can't find libphthon2 in our standard RedHat 5 repositories via YUM, but we do have python installed.
When using the .run file instead of the rpm, I get a message that the X86 environment is unsupported.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
If this is RedHat 5.4, why are you try to install the rhel4 package and not the rhel5 package?
Regarding the error message when you try to install the .run package: In that case you tried to install the wrong package. Use the x86 .run package if your host is 32-bit, use the amd64 .run package if your host is 64 bit.
