The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/_random.so: undefined symbol: _PyArg_NoKeywords Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29) [GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq -----Original Message----- From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of seth vidal Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 11:18 AM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: RE: [Yum] Yum failing FC3 and FC4 On Thu, 2006-03-02 at 10:05 -0500, Larry.D.Boehm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Thanks..I see that. > Still can't get yum to work.
