Hi Thank you! The yum command fixed the problem. I also edited the /etc/yum.repos.d/sl-updates.repo file as suggested but the /etc/yum.repos.d/sl-fastbugs.repo file was not present. Should I perform the following to insure that everything is current? yum clean all yum update yum check all I have also noticed that some packages (pdb2pka; part of the pdb2pqr package http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/pdb2pqr/ ) cannot find portions of numpy (also installed) during compiling. As this workstation is relatively fresh, I am open to doing a fresh install and trying various solutions.
