I have an ec2 instance newly created using CentOS release 5.11 (Final).
One of the first things I tried to do was to install git using: sudo yum install git only that is displaying this error:
I already gave the command sudo yum update and then tried to install git and presented the same error. Does anyone know what it could be?
To solve this problem I initially followed this tutorial , but with some modifications .
yum -y install zlib-devel openssl-devel cpio expat-devel gettext-devel
cd /usr/local/src
wget --no-check-certificate https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/git-core/git-1.8.5.5.tar.gz
tar xvzf git-1.8.5.5.tar.gz
cd git-1.8.5.5
./configure
make
make install
NOTE: After running the configure command, I had to install some missing dependencies, with gcc ( sudo yum install gcc )
NOTE: More links to git source code versions can be found here
