在Red Hat 5.0內裝Pidgin

因為想在RHEL5(Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5)底下安裝pidgin，就上網找了如何安裝pidgin的資料，並直接嘗試安裝，成功後就寫在這裏以避免自己忘記了。

1. 使用su切換成root的權限。
   
2. 從pidgin的官網複製pidgin.repo至/etc/yum.repos.d/下
   
3. 在/etc/yum.repos.d/下使用"yum install pidgin"指令安裝Pidgin：
   Loading "installonlyn" plugin
   Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
   Setting up Install Process
   Setting up repositories

   Error: Missing Dependency: libsilc-1.0.so.2 is needed by package libpurple
   Error: Missing Dependency: libsilcclient-1.0.so.1 is needed by package libpurple
   
4. 從訊息中找出欠缺的套件
   
   Error: Missing Dependency: libsilc-1.0.so.2 is needed by package libpurple
   Error: Missing Dependency: libsilcclient-1.0.so.1 is needed by package libpurple
   
5. 進入義守大學檔案伺服器，找到符合Linux版本的套件
   libsilc-1.0.so.2位置：/pub/Linux/Mandrake/official/2007.1/i586/media/main/release/libsilcclient-1.0.so.1
   libsilcclient-1.0.so.1位置：/pub/Linux/CentOS/5.0/os/i386/CentOS/libsilc-1.0.so.2
   
6. 安裝套件
   rpm -ivh libsilcclient-1.0_1-1.0.2-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm
   rpm -ivh --replacefiles libsilc-1.0.2-2.fc6.i386.rpm
   
7. 在/etc/yum.repos.d/下使用"yum install pidgin"指令安裝Pidgin，就出現：

   Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
