Yeah, Bart, you have to specify the -i parameter on the RPM command so it knows you want to install it, like so: rpm -i perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm

Do that and it should work, then run the yum install.

Sorry, forgot to mention. I also ran

rpm perl-URI-1.17-1.el2.rf.noarch.rpm

before trying to install subversion

but it just returns info

I ran

wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el2.1/en/i386/dag/RPMS/perl-URI-1.17-1.el2.rf.noarch.rpm

it returns

21:40:20 (864.72 KB/s) – `perl-URI-1.17-1.el2.rf.noarch.rpm’ saved [94140]

then I ran

yum install subversion

but it still returns

Any idea what I might be doing wrong

Thnx

Thanks, Alex! Seems like RPMFind moved my file! I used the HTTP site because of some firewall issues with our network, so I guess I will have to refind it, but thank you for posting a valid FTP link.

We had some issues with the URI library above however this one worked fine ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el2.1/en/i386/dag/RPMS/perl-URI-1.17-1.el2.rf.noarch.rpm
