yum安装失败并损坏了原始的yum

Question

I was trying to install yum-3.4.3 using commands make && make install, but it failed with showing the following log:

infra-bld4:/tmp/hxu2/yum-3.4.3> make
for d in rpmUtils yum etc docs po; do make PYTHON=python -C $d; [ $? = 0 ] || exit 1 ; done
make-3.79.1-p7[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/hxu2/yum-3.4.3/rpmUtils'
echo "Nothing to do"

make-3.79.1-p7: *** [subdirs] Error 1

Because I tried to re-install the yum, but the installation failed half way, so bad thing is that I corrupted the original yum in the system. Anybody can help me recover the yum or re-install it will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

if you want to uninstall you can do rpm -e yum

then

Install it using:

rpm -ivh yum-(version).rpm

If yum is working fine for local installations, but it's not able to access Red Hat Network, verify if the following packages are installed. If not, install them:

rhnsd
yum-rhn-plugin
yum-security
rhn-check
rhn-setup
rhn-setup-gnome
yum-downloadonly
rhn-client-tools
rhn-virtualization-common
rhn-virtualization-host
pirut
yum-updatesd
