I tried this command, yum install tomcat6 tomcat-native ..and got this
yum install tomcat6 tomcat-native Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.nus.edu.sg * extras: mirror.nus.edu.sg * updates: mirror.nus.edu.sg 219 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Install Process Package tomcat6-6.0.33-2.jpp6.noarch already installed and latest version No package tomcat-native available. Nothing to do
tomcat-native error on cpbm 1.34 install on centos 6.2
The tomcat-native package comes from the EPEL repository. The installer will attempt to download the EPEL repo config from http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm. If the download or install of this RPM fails, then you will receive the failed dependencies error. Can you provide the full output from running install.sh?
Thanks David. i tried the second alternative..i.e manually ran the piece... Solved the problem for now. Anyone else seen the problem on 6.2 , or maybe just my build? Thanks karthik
It's recommended to use EPEL 6.x with RHEL/CentOS/SL 6 and EPEL 5.x with RHEL/CentOS/SL 5. However, the tomcat-native library is the same version in both repositories, only the names of the RPMs are different:
So technically, you can use EPEL 6.x or 5.x on CentOS 6. But if you install EPEL 5.x on CentOS 6, you may run into other problems in the future if you decide to install additional packages.
