I have just installed YDL 6.2 on a Mac ibook G4. I immediately went to Add/Remove Software as I need additional packages. I got this:
"Unable to retrieve software information".
I do have a working Internet connection. I opened a terminal and typed: "yum list". I got this:
"Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resou ... base-mlist error was (Errno 14) HTTP Error 404: Not found".
I opened a browser and navigated to the url given above (
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resou ... base-mlist). I got a terrasoft page saying "Error 404: Not found".
This suggests to me that the software sources have been moved but nowhere (YDL site, Terrasoft site, Google, this board) can I find any information about where it might have been moved to or what to do about my problem/
Yeah - I noticed the main repositories are gone. There's a list of mirrors here:
http://ydl.net/support/downloads/Looking thru this list, there may be sources here:
ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/Linux/packages/yellowdog/It's been a while since I've messed with this, but if I remember correctly, you'll have to edit each of the default yum repo configurations to ignore the mirroriist and instead point directly to the baseurl:
/etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-base.repo:
# mirrorlist=http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resources/yd62-base-mlist
baseurl=ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/Linux/packages/yellowdog/yum/6/base/repodata/repomd.xml
/etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-extras.repo:
# mirrorlist=http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resources/yd62-extras-mlist
baseurl=ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/Linux/packages/yellowdog/yum/6/extras/repodata/repomd.xml
/etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-updates.repo:
# mirrorlist=http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resources/yd62-updates-mlist
baseurl=ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/Linux/packages/yellowdog/yum/6/updates/repodata/repomd.xml
You'll want to comment out the mirrorlist parameter, and add the baseurl parameter. We have an older reference guide here:
