what is output of commands (as root)...

rpm -qa|grep ruby yum repolist

rpm -qa|grep ruby does not give anything just another prompt i.e

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep ruby [root@localhost ~]#

and yum repolist gives the folowing

[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist repo id repo name status InstallMedia Fedora 8 enabled

what next please?

thanks craig
