Topic: Trying to install the "whois" command

[Teviot]

Hi Everyone.

I have just completed a reinstall from scratch of my SME server.  I had in my files to install jwhois----- but it comes up with the following error

Code: [Select]

[root@gateway installed]# yum localinstall jwhois-3.2.3-8.el5.i386.rpm

I then tried searching for the related files and couldn't work out which was which.

I then tried searching for an update version and found http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/jwhois-3.2.2-6.EL4.1.i386.rpm but that came up with the following

I found http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/glib2-2.4.7-1.i386.rpm

Is this the missing file?  and are there any more I should install in addition to this one?

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to linux and really need help

Regards
Adrian
