  • When I use yum whatprovides libcurl, I get no matches found. But the good news is that the command to install the google chrome package now says I don't have only libcurl.so.4. Any suggestions for this? Commented Jul 16, 2011 at 7:15
  • @Thomas If you try to run 'yum localinstall google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm' does yum is able to resolve the dependencies? Commented Jul 16, 2011 at 16:42
  • @Thomas - I'm not sure why it didn't find it, but I tested it against a different repo. You can run sudo yum clean all and then sudo yum makecache to rebuild the local yum database and try again. It's a good idea to do this periodically, anyways. However, the package you need is called libcurl. You can search/info/install it according to above instructions. Commented Jul 17, 2011 at 0:42
  • @Vitor Braga When I run yum localinstall google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm, I get Error: Missing Dependency: libcurl.so.4 is needed by package google-chrome-stable-12.0.742.124-92024.i386 among other details and it doesn't resolve the library file dependency. Commented Jul 23, 2011 at 10:12
  • @Joe Internet ... after some research it seems that the command yum whatprovides libcurl.so.4 will only work on a machine that already has the package that placed the libcurl.so.4 file in that machine. It is of no use on a machine that does not already have the file. I tried running the sudo yum clean all and then sudo yum makecache to rebuild the local yum database; but this did not help. I also attempted installing the package libcurl by using the command yum install libcurl, but it returned No package libcurl available. Any other ideas I could try? Commented Jul 23, 2011 at 10:20
