worker201:
It has been a long time since I asked a Linux question here.  I usually ask VoidMain over at his site, but I have a question about a program he doesn't approve of.

I can't believe I got stumped on something so easily.  Been doing google searches for the past couple hours and have found no joy.

How the fuck do you install yum?  Fedora Core 4.  Does it have some kind of python-2.3 dependency?  Am I pretty much fucked if I have already upgraded to python-2.4?  Supposedly yum is included on the FC4 disc, but I couldn't find it when it opened the system package manager.  Installing via apt/synaptic gives errors.  This is my main one:

ImportError: Bad magic number in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.pyc

Which is kinda confusing since I don't have python2.3.

Anybody got any hints on this?

Also, how do you install Flash for Opera8?  I thought it would just take over Firefox/Mozilla's Flash, but see below.

Also, my Flash installation for Firefox claims to be okay on the Macromedia test page ( http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ ), but doesn't act okay anywhere else, even other Macromedia pages.  Any hints for this?

cymon:
Mabye the error is caused by your lack of Python?

mobrien_12:
Just use yum to install it and it will take care of all your dependen... oh wait. nevermind.

:)

Seriously though,

[mobrien_12@goliath ~ ]$ rpm -qR yum
/bin/bash
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/sbin/chkconfig
/sbin/service
/usr/bin/python
config(yum) = 2.4.0-0.fc4
coreutils
libxml2-python
python
python(abi) = 2.4
python-elementtree
python-sqlite
rpm >= 0:4.1.1
rpm-python
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames)

I have all that stuff installed, and it was all installed with specially built FC4 Dries and Dag packages using synaptic. But yum still complains about python2.3.

Not sure if this is still an issue, though, since I got smart installed, and it seems to be accessing yum repos just fine. :confused:

Still could use a little help with the Flash thing.:mad:

 Try popping open an xterm session (or Konsole or whatever), login su (or type sudo, however you have that set up), and type ldconfig -v.  Beyond that, I'm not of much help, but here's hoping you overlooked something obvious.  ;)

Also, I'd help with Flash, but I emerged mine (Gentoo and all).  Sorry.  :(
