Thanks -- I'll try it out tonight at home. However, I note that trying
it on my Centos machine yields:
$ yum provides '*/EXTERN.h'
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Error: Caching enabled but no local cache of
//var/cache/yum/addons/filelists.xml.gz from addons
So I'm trying
yum makecache
and then
yum provides "*/EXTERN.h"
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
(works!)
Thank you,
Chip Campbell
