[Yum] installing YUM

[Link McGinnis]

I’m trying to install yum on an Enterprise Linux 4 system…

Linux version 2.6.9-5.EL (bhcompile at decompose.build.redhat.com) (gcc version
3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) #1 Wed Jan 5 19:22:18 EST 2005

 

Python 2.3.4

 

I downloaded the yum-2.4.3.tar.gz (from duke) and unzipped it.  Read the
INSTALL file which encouraged me to build an rpm.

I’ve never done this before – but I downloaded the yum-2.4.3-1.src.rpm and …

 

# rpmbuild --rebuild yum-2.4.3-1.src.rpm

Installing yum-2.4.3-1.src.rpm

warning: user skvidal does not exist - using root

warning: group skvidal does not exist - using root

error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/yum-2.4.3.tar.gz;44abe96c: cpio: read

error: yum-2.4.3-1.src.rpm cannot be installed

 

Thanks for anything you can give me.

 

BTW, why doesn’t the duke yum website have a section called “How to install
YUM?”

 

Thanks,
