I am trying to install git on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 server and have hit a brick wall. I can't find the package dependencies for git using yum.
[root@FOOBAR mydir]# yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel \
> openssl-devel zlib-devel
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
Setting up Install Process
No package curl-devel available.
No package expat-devel available.
No package gettext-devel available.
No package openssl-devel available.
No package zlib-devel available.
Error: Nothing to do
After reading a few forum posts, I found the EPEL package here, and installed it:
[root@FOOBAR mydir]# rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

1:epel-release ########################################### [100%]
however even after this i still get the same error. can someone please help me out?
UPDATE: The output of yum repolist
:
[root@FOOBAR ~]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager

repo id repo name status
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64 10,657
repolist: 10,657
UPDATE2: I changed the /i386/
to /x86_64/
because i erased the i386 one and replaced it with epel 64 bit repo.

It seems that you didn't register with
RHN
, so you are unable to download fromRedhat
's base repo.You can't get
Redhat
official packages without registering.If you don't have
RHN credentials
, you can use theCentos
base repo instead. See this link for more details.
