          Are you sure you want to install source code to recompile?

          You can download the SRPMS packages from:

          ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/
          http://oss.oracle.com/el5/

          However, if you just need to install Open Motif development libraries and header files:

          You might want to try the following (as root)

          cd /etc/yum.repos.d
          wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

          Then edit the file and set the following sections to enabled=1

          vi public-yum-el5.repo

          el5_u5_base
          el5_addons
          el5_oracle_addons

          After that do the following:

          yum clean all
          yum update

          yum list openmotif*

          yum install openmotif-devel

              I see that you have the same question already posted in Installation R12 on OEL 5.5 and someone is taking care of.

              RPM and YUM are not the same thing and used in different ways.

              You don't need to install source code. What do you receive typing the following:

              yum list gcc
              yum install gcc

              Since you have setup the yum repository now to fetch the packages from the internet, you can use the same also for other packages, e.g.:
              # yum install glibc-devel
Loaded plugins: security
Setting up Install Process
Package glibc-devel-2.5-49.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package glibc-devel-2.5-49.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

# yum install glibc
Loaded plugins: security
Setting up Install Process
Package glibc-2.5-49.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package glibc-2.5-49.i686 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
              If the packages are already installed there is nothing to do, otherwise it will prompt you.

              P.S. did yum list openmotif* as outlined above work for you? yum update will only update currently installed packages. For more info:
              # man yum
              # info yum

                  Why do you continue to type the version number of packages - simply don't.

                  glibc-devel-2.5-12 was the requirement at the time the instructions were written, but the package has meanwhile been updated to glibc-2.5-49.

                  You are using YUM to fetch the packages from the internet, which wants a package name, and not RPM to install a package file from your disk or DVD.

                  So you would simply type:

                  yum install glibc-devel
                  yum install glibc
                  yum install glibc-common

                  or

                  yum install glibc*

                  which will install all the above at once.

                  It will automatically fetch the latest available package for your version of OEL (just like I outlined in the previous reply).

                  Then you simply answer "y" at the prompt to install the packages.

                  Same goes for the rest:

                  yum install compat*
                  yum install gcc-c++
                  yum install gcc
                  yum install openmotif*
                  yum install systat
                  yum install make
                  yum install libstdc++*
                  yum install gdbm
                  yum install libXp

                  etc.

                  Give it a try.

                      Glad to hear. I guess it was a somewhat difficult birth, but there had to be way. Please reward answers with points (as "helpful" - 5 pts - or "correct" - 10pts). Thanks. Good luck with the rest of the installation.
