Hi!

I have a new shiny CentOS 5.2 server freshly installed.  I wanted 

to install VMWare Server but the installer wants to compile a module.

I thought, no problem: Let's install compiler and libraries.  So i 

did:

yum groupinstall "Development Libraries" "Development Tools"

But i end up with:

--> Processing Dependency: libsqlite3.so.0 for package: rpm-devel --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libidn = 0.4.6-1.2.el5.rf is needed by package libidn-devel Error: Missing Dependency: libsqlite3.so.0 is needed by package rpm-devel Error: Missing Dependency: libidn.so.11 is needed by package curl Error: Missing Dependency: libsqlite.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package sqlite-devel Error: Missing Dependency: sqlite = 2.8.17-1.el5.rf is needed by package sqlite-devel Error: Missing Dependency: libsqlite3.so.0 is needed by package rpm-libs

you have got some system files replaced by .rf (rpmforge) files ... looks like you added a 3rd party repo without setting up yum-priorities and some important files (sqlite*) were replaced

Thanks Johnny.

Indeed i have RPMForge (which i never used yet, well some files were pumped from there because of my mistake described below!).

Soon after install, i did: yum install yum-priorities

==> I don't know where i read that but i thought that the default priority level was 10 (maybe i was drunk!!!). So rpmforge repo was set to 11 !!! The default is 99, not 10!

==> So finally, i just edited /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

and added line: priority=1 to sections: [base] & [updates]

After, i did:

yum groupinstall "Development Libraries" "Development Tools"

to find out that i had to remove packages:

yum remove subversion-1.5.0-0.1.el5.rf xulrunner-1.9.0.1-1.el5_2

Which were newer than in CentOS repos.

After removing Subversion & Xulrunner, Developpement Tools & Development Libraries installed just fine.

Thanks again for your help!
