chromium install problem

[Jim]

Trying to install the latest 
chromium-5.0.360.0-0.1.20100322svn42211.fc12.x86_64.rpm I'm getting a 
dependency requirement of about 60 Lib files that needs to also be 
installed.

Is there a easier way of installing these lib files than one at a time.

I downloaded chromuim and did a rpm -ivh 
chromium-5.0.360.0-0.1.20100322svn42211.fc12.x86_64.rpm to install.

The updated V8 has been installed.

Chromium from spot's private repo also has mysterious "Oh snap" errors.
When it gets into it's tizzy, all the already loaded tabs have their
contents replaced with the error a split second after switching to the
tab.  It is annoying, but chromium starts so quickly compared to firefox
that I'll just exit and start a fresh one.

The one thing I wish it had was a "create a temp snapshot of the open
pages URL's and restart automatically on next chromium startup".

Note also that some people are seeing quite severe problems when
restarting Chrome (hanging pages, Aw Shucks errors etc.). I don't know
if the same applies to Chromium, since I find it annoying that the two
don't seem able to share the same profile, history, cache etc. and I
can't be bothered maintaining parallel versions of the same information.

I've actually stopped using Chrome for the moment and gone back to
Firefox.

Note that Google Chrome is a proprietary browser.  Chromium is not.

I second that - chromium has some rather difficult java problems as
far as I remember - google-chrome-beta (installed easiest via google
repo setup) works well enough most of the time to be a mainstream
browser now.

But sometimes necessary when the rpm has no signature, as is common with
stuff outside the official stable and testing repos.

Yeah, That did it, and the fastest way to do it.

Edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo (as root)

and write the following 

[chromium]
name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0


after which run
# yum -y install chromium

None of the commands seem to work, these libs are like, libsync.so, all 
50 are *.so dependencies , trying to find the packages that these *.so 
libs belong to would be a nightmare.

Try sudo yum localinstall
chromium-5.0.360.0-0.1.20100322svn42211.fc12.x86_64.rpm
or just yum install rpm-file-name should also work.

Tried this?

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall
chromium-5.0.360.0-0.1.20100322svn42211.fc12.x86_64.rpm

       localinstall
              Is  used  to  install  a set of local rpm files. If required the
              enabled repositories will be used to resolve dependencies.  Note
              that  the  install  command  will do a local install, if given a
              filename.

       --nogpgcheck
              Run with GPG signature checking disabled.
              Configuration Option: gpgcheck
