Yasha is a bit unusual: he consistently has a model of "how things would work if they were done sensibly" which does not match the actual technologies or tools supported by the system. The first likely problem is below: Setting up Install Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * elrepo-extras: reflector.westga.edu * epel: mirrors.kernel.org * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.web-ster.com * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: mirror.web-ster.com * sl: ftp1.scientificlinux.org * sl-addons: ftp1.scientificlinux.org * sl-security: ftp1.scientificlinux.org * sl6x: ftp1.scientificlinux.org * sl6x-fastbugs: ftp1.scientificlinux.org * sl6x-security: ftp1.scientificlinux.org Note the intermingling of sl6x with rpmfusion, epel, and elrepo-extras. There is no guarantee of compatiblity among these three added 3rd party repositories. In this case, it looks like a relevant "compat-libevent14.i686" is not being found. That one is from the postgresql repo, which I do not see in the mentioned repolist above. You *cannot* rely on randomly turning on, an doff, yum repositories to add relevant packages only when you feel like it, you will run precisely this kind of problem. Do a "yum list extras" to review packages from repositories that are not currently enabled, and then go get and install the relevant missing matching components. In this case, I think you'll fine compat-libevent14.i686 in the same postgresql yum repository you were using before. Frankly, I suspect Yasha has incomplete sets of libraries, namely .x86_64 and not .i686 libraries, from that postgresql repository which he enabled, then disabled. > -- > > Vladimir
