Hi all,
I'm trying to install rrdtool on CentOS 5.3 x64, but it keeps failing with dependency problems:
root@pluto:[~]$ yum install rrdtool* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * freshrpms: ayo.uk3.freshrpms.net * rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies There are unfinished transactions remaining.

So, from what I gather, there's dependency problems, but shouldn't these be resolved automatically? I have googled this a bit, and it seems a lot of people end up installing a the tar ball manually - which I don't want todo. So, does anyone know how to install the RPM successful?
