A lot of the packages on CentOS 7 are VERY old at this point. Unless you're really invested in your install, I would switch to CentOS 8. But this day in age there is almost NEVER a reason to run RPM directly. Especially for installing packages because it doesn't handle dependencies, just complains about them missing as you've seen. Also, you don't need to download the package first, yum can handle that for you. (Yes, it's still YUM on CentOS 7, on 8 it's DNF but there's a symlink to YUM so idt doesn't really matter.) $ sudo dnf install http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-2.1.2.x86_64.rpm Then you'll need to deal with any dependencies you don't have. You should have Fedora EPEL[1] installed at a minimum as I'm sure the official repos don't have hamlib. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
