Hi Bryan,

note: I am not RHEL user, but Fedora user :)

Ok well I got the repo added

but when I run sudo yum install basex I get Error: Package: basex-7.3-3.2.noarch (home_basex_opensuse) Requires: xml-commons-resolver = 1.2 Installed: xml-commons-resolver-1.1-4.18.el6.x86_64 (@rhel-x86_64-server-6-test) xml-commons-resolver = 1.1-4.18.el6 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles –nodigest

in order to install basex, it is required to have xml-commons-resolver-1.2, while in your system the installer found xml-commons-resolver-1.1.4.18.

I am sorry to inform you that RHEL-6 has not included xml-commons-resolver-1.2 in its repositories yet. The same for CentOS-6. Probably because of RHEL and CentOS strict package policy.

I can think three installation alternatives: 1. If you insist to install basex with yum, probably you need to install xml-commons-resolver-1.2 directly from its rpm package (available for Fedora), however it will be in conflict with already install xml-commons-resolver-1.1.4 which might also be required by other installed packages. If you only use your machine for exploration only, you can uninstall xml-commons-resolver-1.1.4 and install xml-commons-resolver-1.2, and after that you can install basex with yum :) 2. you can download *.rpm by following baseurl which is stated in basex.repo ( http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/basex:/opensuse/RedHat_RHEL-... ) after that you can install with rpm command with additional --nodeps to ignore required dependencies (xml-commons-resolver-1.2) # rpm -ivh --nodeps basex-7.3.3-2.noarch.rpm 3. you can always use basex zip release :)

sorry for not much helping. -andria

I tried running yum downgrade got Only Upgrade available on package: xml-commons-resolver-1.1-4.18.el6.x86_64

I tried to yum --showduplicates list xml-commons-resolver And got Installed Packages xml-commons-resolver.x86_64 1.1-4.18.el6 @rhel-x86_64-server-6-test Available Packages xml-commons-resolver.x86_64 1.1-4.18.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6-test

while running sudo yum list available xml-* gives

Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, subscription-manager Updating certificate-based repositories. Available Packages xml-common.noarch 0.6.3-32.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6-test xml-commons-apis-javadoc.x86_64 1.3.04-3.6.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6-test xml-commons-apis-manual.x86_64 1.3.04-3.6.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6-test xml-commons-resolver-javadoc.x86_64 1.1-4.18.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6-test

Obviously I'm not especially familiar with redhat so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I guess I need to add another repo in or something?

I tried running yum install yum-allowdowngrade also, but it says it doesn't have a yum-allowdowngrade anywhere

Thanks, Bryan Rasmussen

Hi Bryan,

I think it is because you have not add basex repository in your yum repositories under /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo in order to add basex repository, you can check [1] and choose the

closest

...

Linux distribution, in your case it might be Rad Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Create a new .repo file (for example: basex-rhel6.repo) and write [2]

[home_basex_opensuse] name=BaseX openSUSE Build (RedHat_RHEL-6) type=rpm-md baseurl=

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/basex:/opensuse/RedHat_RHEL-...

...

gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/basex:/opensuse/RedHat_RHEL-...

...

enabled=1

[1] http://basex.org/products/download/all-downloads/ [2]

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/basex:/opensuse/RedHat_RHEL-...

...

Hope it can help, -andria

Hi,

I'm not very good at redhat(and thus not very good at their repository system and tools) and am trying to install basex on it, I tried sudo yum install basex --enablerepo=* but it says it can't find any repo named basex.

What should I do?

3. you can always use basex zip release :)

What is the difference between the basex zip release and the others in this case?

basex zip release is a self contained package, where all required libraries are included. As long as you have Java VM, you can extract it and run basex (gui, cli, client, server, ...) from its executable. However, they are limited to one user only and you have to set up your environment variables yourself.

By using rpm based installer, required libraries are installed separately (in /usr/share/java/*), which is why they are listed as required in rpm installation. Moreover, all user will have access to basex executables (they will be located in /usr/bin/basex*) and their man pages, and there are basex icons in Gnome menu :)

As in, why would trying to use the basex zip release solve my problem?

because it is self contained, you don't need to worry about required libraries (in your problem, xml-commons-resolver-1.2).
