Vertias NetBackup seems to require compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.126.i386.rpm. I was able to download the package and install it, and it works fine. But I believe that library is included somewhere in the Fedora FC2 install. I'm just not sure what options it is under.
For example on machine1 I did a "Complete" install of Fedora FC2. That package was installed.
On machine2, I did a server install, and selected packages. I couldn't find anything specifically about libstdc. Anyway when it was done, that package was not there.
So my question is, what option/package name for Fedora would this package be under? Is there any way to get a list of what packages are under what options?
Thanks Shane

I don't really understand the difficulty to find the FC2 RPM within the Core RPMs on any mirror server.
Maybe you should learn the power of "yum" to find packages? --> www.fedorafaq.org

Hi Alexander,
My problem is not finding the package. I've been able to download and install the package without a problem, from a mirror or yum.
My question is, I had two brand new servers. On one I did a "Complete Install" of Fedora FC2. On the other I did a "Server" install and hand-selected the packages I wanted. On the first server, that libstdc package was installed. On the second server it wasn't. So somewhere in the Fedora packages (Add Remove Applications) is a package that includes libstdc. I'm just wondering which of the categories it is under. For example I assume it's under "Development", but I dont know which item?

The former is most certainly required. The second only for some "legacy" applications.
I would mount cd then find /media/cdrom -name *stdc*

You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key For more information contact your distribution or package provider. [root@dugong ~]# rpm --import public.gpg.key error: public.gpg.key: import read failed. [root@dugong ~]#
Evidently I have some reading to do.
My expectations of yum aren't high atm, I've done nothing to set it up.

Sure - keep your expectations at whatever level that is comfortable. But from your advices on this list - where you keep refering & recommending debian over and over - I thought knew both distributions pretty well..
BTW: the GPG keys for Fedora are in fedor-release package
rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora yum install anaconda

About half my most recent work other than on Debian has been on Nahant where yum isn't, and yum didn't exist when I was using RHL, so yum is new to me.
Since I've not yet attempted to set yum up, I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does anything right.
As for Debian, Debian does many things well and if reporting some of its better features here inspires others to improve things here then that helps Fedora.
BTW: the GPG keys for Fedora are in fedor-release package
rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
Thanks for that. Done that, looks like Yum is doing something, but not what I want. Its going too slowly to be reading my DVD>
I responded to your earlier email on the basis you were telling _me_ what _I_ would do: one of the problems with English is one can't always understand whether a speaker means "you the person" or ""you the group," and I interpreted you differently from what I would have meant.
Looks like I have to read up on Yum; it's definitely not read my mind accurately.
Of course, Debian would have got this right by asking my about my CD collection and mirror choice-)

Sure be ignorant. But don't pass judgment - and advice in that state.

Yum doesn't look at your DVD. It goes over the net to the mirrorlist specified in the default configs.
The default mirrorlists are all over the world - reconfigure them to a more suitable values. (so thing are faster)

I guss my initail sugestion was for the OP - to use yum - instead of mounting/searching each CDs one at a time - as you sugested.

--- Answer:
compat-libstdc++ (and other releated compat packages) can be selected during install with 'custom' package choice - in the section 'Compatibility Arch Development Support'
or (post install with FC3/yum-2.1)
yum groupinstall 'Compatibility Arch Development Support'

You must have a dialup Internet connection. I find it's faster to download and install core files from one of the Fedora mirrors than to dig out my DVD (CD in my case). mount it and hunt for the file.

Coming from Debian I'd suggest you use apt instead of yum. I've used both and I much prefer the former. :-)

My expectations of yum aren't high atm, I've done nothing to set it up.
Like apt has no problems:
1.) dpkg-compabability issues 2.) apt checks *your* rpm database and not a repo 3.) non native package listings 4.) apt will install using: rpm -i --nodeps --noorder
If you think any of the above are not current or serious quality issues that apt users complain about, run a google on any of them. Also, I can add more, but these are some of the more serious issues with apt (As I see it).
We have a couple of debian boxes I maintain. So, don't tell me that apt won't hoark a debian installation. I know better. Also, I'm not going to get into other issues that regarding what wrong with debian (I've got a list) because this is the *FEDORA* mailing list, not the debian list.

I really do not understand what people are getting excited about. I have no particular expectation of yum because I have no experience with it on which to base those expectations.
I do have experience with apt-get _in debian_ and yes, I did get it thoroughly confused when I mixed and matched sources to compensate for Woody's shortcomings (but it also allowed me to fix it once I hit on the right solution).
_I_ have seen people on this list say they prefer apt-get; it's clear a lot don't. I intend to find out about yum, but until I have some experience with it it don't have any particular expectations.
Hopes, wishes - those are different. I hoped it would look at my DVD. I wish it would look at my DVD.
For the moment, I have nothing better than the find command I mentioned a while back, and the hope I can resolve dependancies.

I have had some success with yum using a file:// URL pointing at the mount point.
Unfortunately, this only works if the repodata/headers directory is on the DVD. I've remade the CDs for various releases with the required stuff on them.

That is one of the things I have in mind to do. Then (when I have a DVD drive in my server), I can stick the DVD in the drive and do network installs off it.
I suspect there won't be any problem with any release of FC or RHEL exceeding the size of a DVD any time soon.

Some of the test releases of FC3 for x86_64 exceeded 4.3GB, and that's why the SRPMs are no longer on the DVD for FC3, unlike FC2.

To get yum to look at your DVD:
1. You'll need the "createrepo" package installed.
2. Let's say your DVD is mounted at /my/software/lib/fedora/3/dvd
# cd /my/software/lib/fedora/3 # createrepo .
That should result in a directory /my/software/lib/fedora/3/repodata being created.
3. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and comment out the line: mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core- $releasever add a line: baseurl=file:///my/software/lib/fedora/3
Yum should now use your DVD.

Thanks for that Paul.I've saved it on my desktop to try a little later. I'm playing with ks installs atm.
I've also changed the subject line to help others find it in the arcives.
