Use bottom posting like this and per the group posting guidelines (see http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 and please read all of the page). 2) If you're going to look for a package using only part of the package name, use yum list piped to a grep for the partial package name, or use yum search. 3) Since you already know the package name, use it for your yum provides command. 4) Please do some research on your problem before posting to this list. You have already been given step-by-step instructions on some really basic stuff that your could much more easily have found with google or man or the CentOS wiki. (IOW, RTFM, RTFW & STFW....) HTH mhr
