Dependency issues while installing curl-devel

  • 772

I'm trying to run the passenger-install-apache2-module so I can install Redmine on CentOS 5.8, but passenger-install-apache2-module tells me I need Curl development headers with SSL support, which it tells me I can install using yum install curl-devel, however, when I run that I get the following results:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, protectbase
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: ftp.pbone.net
 * extras: ftp.pbone.net
 * remi: remi-mirror.dedipower.com
 * updates: ftp.pbone.net

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Now I'm not amazing with linux stuff, however, I think this tells me that I need version curl if I want to install curl-devel (makes sense). But I know I have curl install, and I do curl -V to test if it is actually install, and this gives me:

curl 7.21.7 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5 libssh2/1.2.7
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

So I think the problem is the difference in versions, however, I have no idea where to go from here.

So my question is, how do I install curl-devel properly?

BTW: I did try what yum told me to try at the end:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
centos redmine curl centos5 rubygems

    You need the same version of curl-devel and curl. The package passenger-install-apache2-module require the version 7.15.5-15.el5 of curl-devel so you need to update curl to version 7.15.5-15.el5. You have installed a greater version of curl package, the version is 7.21.7.

    Your server use as repository rpmbone, this repository contains curl version 7.15.5-15.el5. These are the packages url: ftp.centos.org/5.8/os/x86_64/CentOS/curl-7.15.5-15.el5.x86_64.rpm ftp.centos.org/5.8/os/i386/CentOS/curl-7.15.5-15.el5.i386.rpm

    You can try to remove curl.7.21.7 if it isn't a dependency of other package and install curl and curl-devel 7.15.5-15 using the command "yum install curl-7.15.5-15 curl-devel--7.15.5-15"
