Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Error - /var/cache/yum/base/header.info cannot be found
Please ask your sysadmin to update the headers on this system.
Hi Texasone, the error message indicates that your system / kernel files are old, and you have to update them.
First, execute "yum clean all" to clean the old installation files and headers, then run "yum update" - it will update your system - that may be a long process. If this approach doesn't work for some reasons, install the kernel headers :
or, as a last resort, find the RPM package for Wine, and execute :
okay
i just tried the "yum" command approach and i updated my headers (yum update)
now it says that i done have enough arguments
[root@localhost texasone]# yum install wine

It will be possible for me to install the OS from that install tree?

Yo chaps.
So. While I was trying to compile lighttpd from source (first time I've ever been so brave) I ran across this error:
"C compiler cannot create executables"
I Googled around a bit and found someone suggesting that the error came from not having g++ installed. Which makes sense.
