I want to make sure my yum.conf file is correct... it seems strange to me that I should be getting a URL of www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fedoralegacy/redhat/Null/os/i386/headers
The "Null" is the part that's throwing me... it appears that the mirrors are not synced yet... all I'm getting is "404" errors...
I think the "Null" is the problem. It looks that it cannot resolve the value of the $releasever variable.
In which case, define it manually using:
releasever="9" or whatnot.
Do you have a custom /etc/redhat.release file (or is it missing all-together)?
Also - pertaining to the original config:
>[updates] >name=Red Hat Linux $releasever updates >baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/updates/$basearch >baseurl=ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/mirror/download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/updates/$basearch >baseurl=http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fedoralegacy/redhat/$releasever/updates/$basearch
It could easily be said with a single baseurl= line, as long as each entry starts with one or more spaces or other white space. To simplify reordering the lines "as needed" in my case, I write it this way:
baseurl= ftp://<url2> http://<url3> http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/updates/$basearch
This allows me to reorder the list or comment out line by line in vim w/o needing to replace the first baseurl line. I'm not sure if defining it as above will superscede the previous definition or append. If the former, it's a bad thing, if the latter, then my way's just another way of going about it.
Additionally, the "updates" section may be redundant since updates-released usually contains Red Hat supplied updated as well as legacy packages.
Finally - I'm seeing a mix of two versions here. Part of the INI pertains to fedora core specifically, and the other part pertains to Red Hat 7.x-9.
Attached is a copy of my yum.conf which I use with Red Hat 8.0 (running Yum 2.x and an updated RPM). My Red Hat 9 config will soon look the same.
HTH, -Rick
