I think it’s not too late to play with Redhat Enterprise Server :-). Need a kind of a distraction from Solaris, and other Ora** HW/SW product.. hahaha.
I just install RHEL version 6.4. trying to use yum command to install rpm-build package, but it showing below error messages:
[root@redhat64 ~]# yum install rpm-build Loaded plugins: product-id, 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 rpm-build available. Error: Nothing to do
By default, if you check with “yum repolist all” command, there are 2 repo source with status disabled:
[root@redhat64 ~]# yum repolist all Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register. repo id repo name status rhel-source Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6Server - x86_64 - Source disabled rhel-source-beta Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6Server Beta - x86_64 - Source disabled repolist: 0 [root@redhat64 ~]#
Check the Redhat repository configuration file, there are two repo name, both are pointed to redhat website:
[root@redhat64 ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@redhat64 yum.repos.d]# ls
rhel-source.repo
[root@redhat64 yum.repos.d]# more rhel-source.repo
[rhel-source]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/SRPMS/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

We need to register to RHN in order to use those repo source, even you try to enable the repo, by editing the line “enable=0″ to “enable=1″ but it won’t work. The easy way is build a local repository from your current redhat’s DVD / ISO file:
# mkdir /cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Rename existing repo file “rhel-source.repo” to “rhel-source.repo.backup” or whatever you want.
Create another repo file name, example “dvd.repo”:
# vi dvd.repo
[dvd-source]
name=RHEL 6.4 dvd repo
baseurl=file:///cdrom/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Check your repo config, Test and try to install the package:
# yum repolist
# yum install rpm-build
[root@redhat64 yum.repos.d]# yum repolist
