    Hi All
    I tried to install Yum on Fedora Core 6. I have used yum-3.2.6.tar.gz file. When i try yum command with any option say install list it is showing the error

    [root@mail2 yum]# yum install webmin

    Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running. Aborting.
    [root@mail2 yum]#


    There is no file called /var/run/yum.pid. More over running the yum command even after rebooting the machine gives the same result. Can anyone help on this ?

    Is it because i have not properly installed yum ? can any one send me a link which guides through the correct yum installation procedure, with the changes to be made in yum.conf file ?


    Looking forward to hear from you

    Thanks and Regards

    But yum is already installed on Fedora Core 6...

    Anyway, what's the output of
    Code:
    ps aux|grep yum
    ?
