Thanks Marcelo. That certainly helped. Although, now I keep seeing this message: *[root at mpvmpc19 paramiko]# yum install Crypto.Util.randpool Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - ~ Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Reading repository metadata in from local files 336 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Parsing package install arguments * In the yum configuration file, there are may mirrors listed in a few files: What should the priorities be? (I wnt to make sure no packages are excluded. 336 is a very large number) Second: I was able to install python-paramiko. It seems to work with Python2.3 (Python2.3 comes as default with CentOS). I have installed Python 2.4.6 and need the same to work with that. Any tips? -- Raghu Narasimhan raghu.united at gmail.com On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 3:08 PM, Marcelo M.
