I am trying to install some perl libs and find the ones from CentOS mirrors are correctly loading the x86_64 versions, but the rpmforge ones are only i386 or i686 ones - any reason why??
did you check the rpmforge.repo configuration?
yeah, seems identical to another x86_64 server that is working just fine. The server with the problem is a rebuild and used to be a i386. Thus there is history on the system that is i386 - but the OS, rpm, yum, apache, php etc are all x86_64 and as mentioned, there is no problem pulling files from the CentOS repos - I did need to change /etc/rpm/platform to get these working and wondered if rpmforge has a similar place it goes to, to determine the arch??
Okay - it seems the centos mirrorlist repos use $basearch which comes from the /etc/rpm/platform file and rpmforge uses $arch which comes from??
I have $basearch for rpmforge.repo as well, both on C5 and C6.
I did the changes to mirrorlist for rpmforge so it referenced $basearch and still no joy. I then did a "yum clean all" and it came right - I think yum is not set up to deal with a change in the arch, thus did not reload the repo file lists. All is now well. Thanks all for the suggestions.
