RPM Bits on Centos 5

To get gkrellm and other goodies:

# <span style="text-decoration: underline;">rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm</span>

That's for Centos 5.x (RHEL 5)... there may be updated instructions on Dag's site.

On a 64-bit system, once you add rpmforge you may have problems like this, when you go to do an update:

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psvn.el from install of subversion-1.5.4-0.1.el5.rf conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-2.el5
...

That's because rpmforge has only the 64-bit subversion, which conflicts with the old 32-bit installed version. You probably have both installed, which is normal. Verify this with:

# <span style="text-decoration: underline;">rpm -q --qf '%{NAME} %{ARCH}n' subversion</span>
subversion x86_64
subversion i386

The most logical way to resolve this conflict between repositories is to uninstall (erase, with the -e switch to rpm) the package and re-install it:

# <span style="text-decoration: underline;">rpm -e --allmatches subversion</span>
# <span style="text-decoration: underline;">yum install subversion</span>
