installing RKWard on RHEL
Thank you Marc. To be clear for future reference, binaries packaged for Fedora distro's are not to be installed on RHEL and vice versa. Same holds for rpm's? Thanks. -Christos

Hello, I am trying to install RKWard to an RHEL workstation. I tried $ yum install rkward but that did not work as it could not find the package in the standard repositories. The RKWard project page suggests that You can also find the build (of all versions of RKWard) at koji and other information regarding the package at pkgdb Is there a way to install the package on RHEL or the above resources are only built for Fedora? Thank you. -Christos
Christos, The EPEL is the yum based repo for RHEL and more info is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL That being said, I did not see the package listed in Bodhi for RHEL, only for FC11 and FC12, which are the currently supported versions of Fedora. F10 went EOL in the past week. The Bodhi link is here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/rkward The same for Koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4881 The RKWard site does not list pre-built binaries being available for RHEL, only Fedora within the domain of RH distros: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=Binaries_and_Build_Scripts Thus, you will likely have to install from source for the time being. Information on that path is here: http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ HTH, Marc Schwartz
