Thanks, Johnny Hughes Johnny, Your build of the later chromiums works great on CO 6.6 (not withstanding the no built in flash support).

Get the latest Google Chrome rpm: wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm (that is all one line, substitute i386 for x86_64 if requried) 4. extract the RPM to the temp directory: rpm2cpio google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm | cpio -idv (that is also one line) 5. Copy the PepperFlash directory to the install location: cp -a opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/ /opt/chromium-browser/ (also all one line) 6. Test that flash is working by opening chrome and going here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ 7. If everything is working, delete the temp directory: rm -rf /tmp/chrome/ 8.

I something wrong with this google repo? Should I remove and reinstall from the new one given here on this list? Correction this is the repo file [google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 It installs and works.. youtube videos play. The only way that would work for C6 is if the script from Richard Lloyd, or similar, is used to segregate newer libraries from f15 and f17 into e.g. /opt/google/chrome/lib so versions of Chrome newer than v27 will install and run on C6, but other programs won't use those libraries. C7 uses those newer libraries by default, so such an installation script isn't needed to make Chrome work on C7. For now, anyway. :) Chromium (see subject line) is the open source version of Chrome, of course. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This should be doable without conflicting with the existing older libs in C6. At this point Chrome should be install-able from their own repo without having to pull any further stunts.
