Hi everybody... first of all, this is my first mail for this list and perhaps i won't explain me as clear as i want, because of my English (i speak Spanish), so hope u can help me. Well, I need a good diagram drawer. I have Dia, but i hate it, so I google and found Kivio, from the Koffice suite, but I just can't install it, by yum, by downloading a package... anything. What can I do? Thanks
I am assuming here you are not running KDE? Koffice is for KDE and CentOS uses GNOME. So it isn't in the repository and you would have to find another one with KDE Apps. If you looking for KDE apps you may want to move to a KDE distro out there it will make life easier. I am sure you can get CentOS to work fine with KDE. I also believe SUSE works with KDE in gnome so there is probaly a way to make it work under gnome. Not sure if you really would want to do that.> Hi everybody... first of all, this is my first mail for this list and > perhaps i won't explain me as clear as i want, because of my English (i > speak Spanish), so hope u can help me. > Well, I need a good diagram drawer.

You might try the kde-redhat project, as they do have koffice there, and they do have a centos repository. http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories (look for kde-redhat) This would increase several items on CentOS to much newer versions, yum will tell you which ones. That would be the only solution I know of that works with yum. However, you do need to understand what this does to your CentOS install. I am personally using that repo and it WorksForMe(TM) ... it may add to many new items for your situation, so you should make sure you know what you are getting into :D Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
