>From looking through the yum.mbox, I can see that this is not a new question, however I was not able to discern an answer that addressed a fix to this. It also seems that getting yum to work on Solaris is a bit of a bear in the first place. Where I'm at... I'm attempting to get yum to play nice on a Solaris 8 boxen, specifically: Solaris 8 2/02 I have the following installed: SMCpython python # python -V Python 2.2.2 # which python /usr/local/bin/python SFWrpm RPM - Red Hat Package Manager # rpm -v RPM version 4.0 Copyright (C) 1998 - Red Hat Software This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU GPL These were all obtained from www.sun.com's Solaris 8 Companion. I also installed the following supporting packages, also obtained from www.sun.com. SFWbdb Berkeley DB - database library SMCgettext gettext SMCliconv libiconv I then obtained yum-1.0.3-1_73.src.rpm from: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/1.0/ Did an: #rpm -i yum-1.0.3-1_73.src.rpm #cd /opt/sfw/src/redhat/SOURCES/yum-1.0.3 And performed a: #./configure ;make ;make install I then vi'd the /usr/bin/yum and /usr/bin/yum-arch files and changed: #!/usr/bin/python To #!/usr/local/bin/python When I attempt to run yum I get the following: # yum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain File "yummain.py", line 21, in ? import clientStuff File "clientStuff.py", line 22, in ? import rpm ImportError: No module named rpm Now, due to the site at which I'm at, I'd prefer to use the sunfreeware RPM that I currently have installed,however I'm open to suggestions at this point. Could someone out there who's done this on Solaris possibly point me in the right direction and maybe point out some of the pitfalls while you're at it? Thanks! roman
