DHCPD - unable to install via Yum

[serjofpower]

I'm a bit of a newbie at this so bear with me. I'm trying to install dhcpd on a Fedora Core 5 server and am having problems.

Initially I downloaded the RPM for it and attempted to install it by doing "rpm -i dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386.rpm" (this is how we installed it on several other FC servers and it's worked fine). When I tried this method I get the following:

[david.robinson]rpm -i dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.7 is needed by dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386
liblber-2.4.so.2 is needed by dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386
libldap-2.4.so.2 is needed by dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386
rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386

I tried finding these files to download online but am having no real luck. After I figured I couldn't install via the RPM package, I tried using Yum. I ran: "yum install dhcpd" and got the following message back:

[david.robinson]# yum install dhcpd

(There's actually an http : // in front of the url 'download.fedora...' but it wouldn't let me post "urls to other sites" until I have 15 posts or more).
From what I can decipher from the message, yum doesn't have a valid server to connect to to retrieve updates (is this correct?). At this point I'm not sure what exactly to do.

Does anybody have any advice on getting dhcpd going on this machine? Any help would be appreciated.

Thx,

Check contents of
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
and others repo files and edit if you need.

Yes that's correct, you must be connected to the Internet for YUM to work properly. You do know Fedora 5 is very old and unsupported right? Since you say it's a server, I'll assume you want to keep FC5 instead of upgrading your OS.
DHCP and probably all of the depends that you need are on the CD that you installed with.

[david.robinson]rpm -i dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.7 is needed by dhcp-4.0.0-14.fc9.i386

If this is a brand new install, I would either get a newer version of Linux (recommended) or re-install FC5 again and this time be sure to include networking support. If you can get the network up and running then that will solve most of your problems, but not all of them. FC5 isn't getting updates anymore, it's too old.

I know it's old but it's working for what we use it for and I'd rather not do an upgrade that may or may not cause more/other problems

It does have internet connectivity - we're ssh'd into it doing this work.

If I were to get the FC5 ISO onto the server's hard drive would I be able to re-install dhcpd directly off the CD? Also - would I still run into the missing libraries (libcrypto.so.7, liblber-2.4.so.2, libldap-2.4.so.2, and rtld(GNU_HASH)) or would they automatically be pulled off the CD when I run RPM to install it?

I really appreciate the help!

You'll still need the depends but yes DHCP should be on the install CD.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to find those dependencies? I searched for those files online and couldn't find where I could download them. I could only find references to other packages which also depend on them...

[MikeTbob]

Try this link, once you select your package to download, I think it will show you the depends at the bottom.

Which link?

[MikeTbob]

Which link?

Oh CRAP man!!!
So sorry.
The link was for
http://rpm.pbone.net/
But I can't get it to work now. It appears to be dead.
You can try this one, but it doesn't list the depends like pbone does.
Search the RPM repository on www.rpmfind.net
I'd keep try the pbone link, it was working just the other day.

Ok, so I thought I replied to this already but it looks like I didn't.

My coworker actually figured this out; basically, our repo files were pointing to repositories that had been moved to another location. Once he updated the urls to reflect a working repository we were able to do "yum install dhcpd" and it worked.

Thanks for all the help guys!
