To get a more useful error message, try installing something from the command line instead using yum. To use yum to install software you need to have "super user" or "root" privileges. You don't have to log in as root, though -- the "su -" command allows you to temporarily become "root" as shown below:
Becoming root user:
- Code: Select all
su -
<enter root password>
Trying to install unrar -- a small archive utility that allows you to extract .rar archive files:
- Code: Select all
yum install unrar
