yum and gcc [answers]

Edit: SOLVED! Finally, after 2 hours of searching and asking...

I found some yum packages: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/yum/
couldn't download it with rpm, so I used wget and then rpm <theoptions> ./theyumfile
also, you need to delete: glibc-dummy-centos-4

Code:

yum remove glibc-dummy-centos-4

if you want to install gcc. You also need to execute the following commands (AFAIK):

Code:

rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.i386.rpm

rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm

rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.el4.centos.i386.rpm

rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-3.3.6-2.i386.rpm

now you can use yum to get whatever packages you want. In my case, I wanted gcc, so I executed:

Code:

yum install gcc

[/color]

-------------------------------------

I need help with installing yum on centos. My original goal was to install unrealircd, but the vps doesn't have gcc/cc installed. So I searched, searched, searched and found out that I need to install yum and use it to get the gcc package.

Hi,

You need to add the compiler and its components using yum. But first you need to setup yum on your VPS:

Code:

1. rpm -ihv --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-1.c4.noarch.rpm
2. yum makecache

Then you would setup gcc by executing "yum install gcc"

Please advise if you have any further questions.

I tried that, but http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-1.c4.noarch.rpm
doesn't seem to exist anymore. I googled and didn't find anything. Grr..!!
