I'm trying to install some dependencies for thrift
using yum
. I've found, for example boost via yum search boost
which gives me (after a load of fails as the PC not on the web, but has a local repository somewhere...on the network...I think):
boost.x86_64 : The free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries
But when I go to try yum localinstall boost*
I get nothing 'file does not end with RPM, skipping', likewise find boost*
gives nothing.
Should my yum command work, and this is a sign that it's not on the network? Or is it on there and I'm not using the right command to find the path to the rpm for it? Bottom line: How can I use yum to install a local file I found using search
?
Edit:
I should mention, running yum install boost*
fails as I cannot get on the web. This still leaves me wondering: The yum search
result is not local (as per Ignacio's comment), and it's not installed (whereis
and which
are drawing up blanks, as is locate
) nor can I even reach a repo. So what is yum search
finding, and how do I install it?
locate boost.x86_64
?locate: cannot stat () '/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory
updatedb
as root first, and then then thelocate
command.locate
will search for file names containing a pattern. It should at least be able to find your local rpm.localinstall
and were referring to a local package.
