Question

I’n newby with linux and I’m learning on LINUX heartbeat. I’m trying to do
“yum install heartbeat” which shows me like below…

# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

# yum install heartbeat
Loaded plugins: katello, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity
Setting up Install Process
No package heartbeat available.
Nothing to do

Centos on my local does work. Can anyone explain me why redhat doesn’t work and what i should do?

Answer 1

Red Hat EL does not come with EPEL configured by default. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F.

In your case, install http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/epel-release.html and repeat your command.
