Getting an Error installing Development Tools - HELP please
| Posted by IrishDoc, 10-30-2012, 04:54 PM | | My server is running centos 5.8 with kernel 3.2.13-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64. When I try installing 'Development Tools' I am getting this error after a few seconds of the install start --
Can someone explain this to me and help me with a fix???

Someone else who has attempted this would probably provide better advice.

To the OP, what happens if you just install kernel and kernel-devel but continue booting off your current kernel? Just because you have a kernel installed doesn't mean you have to use it.
