libcurl.so.3 - Where art thou? :)

[beninfl]

Howdy! I'm installing this "media node" software on my server, and am having a hell of a time figuring out what to do. The script is for CentOS, and they want $1500 for installation help if their script gives problems (!!).

The instructions provided are to download the script named redhat.sh and then "sudh ./redhat.sh". It seems to puke as a result of doing the yum install git needing dependency "libcurl.so.3". I have libcurl.so.4 on the server, and tried making a symbolic link to libcurl.so.3 by linking to libcurl.so.4 and that didnt work either.

Any ideas? I'm completely stumped and google exhausted.

sudo bash redhat.sh

Hello

It looks like you are using a non-standard YUM repository (rpmforge). Are you using this repo for this particular package? If not, you may want to consider removing it and then running "yum update" again, assuming you are not using that custom repository for other packages.

Thank you.
