    Yum Can't Install xpdf

    I have a linux webserver running CENTOS 5.2 i686 on which I need to install xpdf. I'm not much of a linux person, from what I've read xpdf has dependancies, so I prefer to take the easy way and use yum.

    When i enter yum install xpdf I get this:

    Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
    Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
    * rpmforge: apt.sw.be
    * base: mirror.stanford.edu
    * updates: mirror.steadfast.net
    * addons: mirrors.bluehost.com
    * extras: mirrors.tummy.com
    Excluding Packages in global exclude list
    Finished
    Setting up Install Process
    Parsing package install arguments
    No package xpdf available.
    Nothing to do
    From what I understand yum uses several databases, some of which has xpdf, mine must not being using a db with xpdf...i think...

    anyway can I get xpdf installed with yum if so how?

    try to do it manually :
    wget ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/1/mirror...el5.1.i386.rpm
