Why don't you just copy and paste the error message within CODE-tags and post it directly? Is it that lengthy? Because, if it is not, simply put the following in your post:

[code]<your error message here....
.....
....
...and it ends here[/code]

Which will look like this:

Code:
<your error message here....
.....
....
...and it ends here


I hope this helps.

ok i am going to type this manually
Code:
yum install elfutils-libelf-0.172-2.e17.i686.rpm
This system is not registered to RedHat subscription manager 
There are no enabled repos. **Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.

You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable

This is red hat 7.2 on a Virtual machine I dont want to subscribe to Red Hat as this is a test box

If I were you I would follow the instructions in the message above.

In particular:

Code:
yum repolist all

Code:
yum-config-manager --enable

I think the error messsage is pretty clear. A "repository" is a number of rpm-files with a small file containing a "table of contents" anyway, so it is not particularily important which repo you use as source. If you do not plan to keep the system for a longer period of time you might as well (this i assume because of the "test"-status) use the CentOS- or Fedora- repository and install the package from there or (perhaps even easier) download the rpm-files you want to install into a local directory and install from there. This has the advantage of you automaticaclly getting a list of additionally installed packages for free which you might need once you try to create a production-level system modeled after this test-system.

I hope this helps.

This is not the name of the repository, it is the name of the package. A "repository" is a place where several (many) packages are collected to install from there. If you do a yum repolist you will see a list of repositories. Look in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d and you will see some files named exactly like the list you got but with the ending "repo". These files are the definition files of the respective repo. Have a look at existing files to see the structure. You can even create a local repository by downloading rpm-files, putting them into a directory and creating a repository from that.

First you need to tell yum that you want to use a new repository: a repo-file for a local repository (/etc/yum.repo.d/local.repo) could look as simple as this:

Code:
name=Local Repository
baseurl=file:///your/directory/with/rpms
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Then put your rpms in /your/directory/with/rpms and run createrepo /your/directory/with/rpms.This is it. You may need to install the rpm-package with the createrepo utility first if you don't have it on your system. Now you can install the rpms from this directory using yum install ..... Notice that when you add, remove or change rpms from this directory you need to run createrepo again to update the repository information.

I hope this helps.

i did create a file in /etc/yum.repo.d called local.repo and had the following code
Code:
name=Local Repository
baseurl=file:///tmp/rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

This directory /tmp/rpm contains all the packages downloaded but after this exercise i tried to run createrepo and /tmp/rpm with root and there is an error "command not available "
