Installing the contextBroker

Question

I got some problems installing the contextBroker on my own server. I got a CentOS installation. Im trying to install the contextBroker with yum. I have setup the repo as discribed in (https://stackoverflow.com/a/24510985/4953537)

Output when trying to install:

yum install contextBroker

What am i missing here?

Update:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/testbed-fi-ware.repo
[testbed-fi-ware]
name=Fiware Repository
baseurl=http://repositories.testbed.fi-ware.org/repo/rpm/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

"rpm -qa | grep contextBroker" doesnt give any output

Update:

I tryed to install the package manually and i installed all the dependancies listed on https://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Publish/Subscribe_Broker_-_Orion_Context_Broker_-_Installation_and_Administration_Guide#Installing

The contextBroker package (mandatory) depends on the following packages: boost-filesystem, boost-thread, libmicrohttpd (new requirement in 0.8.0), logrotate (new requirement in 0.13.0), libcurl (new requirement in 0.14.1) and boost-regex (new requirement in 0.22.0).

Still, when installing the RPM package( sudo rpm -i http://repositories.testbed.fiware.org/repo/rpm/x86_64/contextBroker-0.22.0-1.x86_64.rpm) i get:

Why do i get this?

i know it is a while but let me know which version of Cent OS are you using ? 7.x ? Because this is not supported by Fiware. Use Cent Os 6.8 final this works very well — Mchoeti, Sep 05 '16 at 19:43

Sometimes yum doesn't detect new packages in the repositories. In that case, I have found that the following command use to help:

yum clean all

next, try again

yum install contextBroker

I tryed above serveral times but no luck.Anything else that could be wrong? – mitch Jun 04 '15 at 07:10
In order to know other possible causes, please edit your question post to include the following: 1) the content of testbed-fi-ware.repo file (i.e. `cat /etc/yum.repos.d/testbed-fi-ware.repo`, 2) the output of the following command: `rpm -qa | grep contextBroker`. – fgalan Jun 04 '15 at 11:10

Another way is installing directly from the repository with rpm command, e.g.:

sudo rpm -i http://repositories.testbed.fiware.org/repo/rpm/x86_64/contextBroker-0.22.0-1.x86_64.rpm

However, in this case, if some package dependency fails, you would need to deal with it manually.

EDIT: in the case of dependencies problems, you can use the following in order to know which package provides each dependency:

yum whatprovides libboost_filesystem-mt.*
yum whatprovides libstdc++.so.6

However, not sure if this would work in you case, given that the fail in yum install contextBroker at the very beginning makes me think if yum is not working fine in your environment...

I updated my question with manually installing the RPM package – mitch Jun 05 '15 at 06:57
Answer has been edited to include more info about dealing with missing dependencies. – fgalan Jun 05 '15 at 10:48
Indeed this also doesn't work.... when i do the whatprovices function, it gives me a package, when i try to install it, it says its allready installed....why is it in the failed dependancy list? – mitch Jun 11 '15 at 10:24
It seems that something is definitively broken in your yum system... I would recommend you to review yum documentation and get support from yum experts. – fgalan Jun 11 '15 at 10:54
