Hello Andrew!
Thanks for the response - yes, all that is set up and pointing to the right 
place - I've also tried changing the URL to the very specific directory to see 
if that worked better, but no joy...

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Finding the Installer...

Hi Nick,
The relevant part of the Administration Guide is:

For RHEL / CentOS:
In order to use the repository, just create a file named 
/etc/yum.repos.d/PacketFence.repo withthe following content:
[PacketFence]
name=PacketFence Repository
baseurl=http://inverse.ca/downloads/PacketFence/RHEL$releasever/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0

Do you have that file with that contents?

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Finding the Installer...

I have been round in circles trying to get PacketFence to install, failing each 
time at the (almost) final fence: the installation of the package itself.

This is a CentOS 6 system, fully updated, and with all dependencies addressed 
so far as I am able at this point.

So far as I can determine from internet resources, I have set up software 
repositories correctly, but still, the installation process cannot find the 
installer - so either it has been moved, or there is some distant corner of the 
galaxy that this system is still not finding. The server is behind firewalls 
etc, but I'm not clear why that should be a problem given that I have managed 
to find and install everything else.

[also, I have tried different capitalisation of the installer: Packetfence, 
packetfence, PacketFence... it is reported differently on various web resources]

Using the command in the following form, with system response:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence.repo, epel,rpmforge,of 
Packetfence-complete

Please advise - how are the repositories supposed to be defined, and in what 
files would you expect them to be defined? There's clearly something missing 
still....

Thank you,

Nick
