Hi, # yum install php-pear <snip> No package php-pear available. Nothing to do This is on CentOS 5.8 (i386). The package is available for both archs on the two mirrors I checked. I also tried a # yum clean headers # yum clean metadata # yum clean dbcache to no avail. Am I missing something or is it the metadata? Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
