[Planetlab-users] Problem installing packages

[Aninda B. <an...@ne...>]

Hi!

I use the following command to install the packages in my slice:

>> yum -y install man gzip less gcc flex bison bc rpm-build =
linux-headers

It exits after downloading some of the headers. The error message is:

getting /var/cache/yum/base/headers/tcl-html-0-8.3.5-88.i386.hdr
retrygrab() failed for:
  =
http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/9/i386//headers/tc=
l-html-0-8.3.5-88.i386.hdr

l-html-0-8.3.5-88.i386.hdr
[Errno 7] HTTP Error (CannotSendRequest):=20

How can I get rid of this error?

My experiments will involve usage of quite a few nodes. Do I have to =
install these packages in all the nodes separately?

Sincerely,
Aninda
