Dear All SL 6 Users:
How to add extra repository to the Package Manager? I need to look for
some 32 bits libraries for my 32 bits applications.
the repository definitions live in /etc/yum.repos.d. Just add your new repo in
a separate file and it will show up in packagekit (see man yum.conf for the
syntax). There's most likely also a gui way to add a new repo, but since I'm
almost exclusively using the yum command line tools, I wouldn't know about it.
Cheers,
Andreas
Hello,
Andreas is correct, but I wanted to point out one thing because I've
seen a few others have similar expectations.
There *are* 32 bit libraries in the x86_64 repositories.
yum list "*i686"
Usually the easiest way to find whatever the library is, is to use the
"yum provides" command with the full path.
yum provides /lib/libk5crypto.so.3
